Web Hosting - Inactivating Your Account or Additional Domain

Coordinating with us on your site’s transition to a new service or its removal can help prevent any loose ends and service interruptions.

• Please inform the Web Hosting service that your site (or an individual domain within a multi-domain account) is moving to another service or being discontinued. Monthly billing will continue until we receive notification that the service is no longer required.
• Site administrators and developers can download and archive site files and any databases as needed. See: Web Hosting - Instructions for download and upload of sites files and/or databases

Transferring Hosting Services:

• To coordinate a date and time (Monday - Friday, 7 AM to 5 PM) for the DNS migration, email webhosting@doit.wisc.edu.
• If your site will use a new domain name, we can assist in setting up a redirect to ensure your users can easily find your new location. See: Web Hosting - Website Redirects
• Once the DNS is updated or the redirect is implemented, we will inactivate the web account and send confirmation to the contacts.

Decommissioning Your Website:

• To schedule the removal of your domain, email webhosting@doit.wisc.edu with the desired date and time.
• Once the domain is removed, we will inactivate the web account and send confirmation to the contacts.
