This guide will walk you through the process of removing a subdomain from your DirectAdmin account.
-
Log into DirectAdmin
First, log into your DirectAdmin account. Ensure you have the necessary privileges to manage domain settings.
-
Navigate to Subdomain Management
Once logged in, locate and click on the "Subdomain Management" option. This is typically found in the main menu or under domain management settings.
-
Select the Subdomain to Remove
In the "Subdomain Name" section, you'll see a list of all subdomains associated with your account. Identify and select the subdomain you wish to delete.
-
Delete the Subdomain
Click on the "Delete" button next to the selected subdomain. If you want to remove the directory contents associated with the subdomain, make sure to check the "Remove Directory Content" option before confirming the deletion.
Post-Deletion DNS Management
After removing the subdomain, it's crucial to manage your DNS records accordingly:
-
Updating DNS Records:
- A Record: If you're managing DNS configurations, consider updating or removing the A record for the deleted subdomain. For more information, visit the A record (Address Record) Knowledgebase.
- CNAME Record: If you used a CNAME record for the subdomain, ensure it's removed or updated. Learn more about CNAME records in the CNAME record (Canonical Name) Knowledgebase.
Remember to verify all changes and allow time for DNS propagation globally. If you encounter any issues or need further assistance, don't hesitate to contact our support team.
