Cancel GoDaddy: 2026 Step-by-Step Guide

Q: Will I get a refund if I cancel GoDaddy?

Refund policies vary by service. Hosting may offer prorated refunds within the first 30 days, but domains and some other services are generally non-refundable. Check your specific product terms.

Q: Can I cancel GoDaddy online?

Yes, most GoDaddy services can be cancelled through your account dashboard. However, some complex business accounts may require contacting support directly.

Q: What happens to my website after I cancel hosting?

Your website will go offline when hosting expires. Download all files, databases, and email data before cancelling to avoid losing your content permanently.

Q: Why can't I find the cancel button for my domain?

Domains can't be cancelled mid-term, only set to not auto-renew. Look for 'Turn off auto-renew' instead of 'Cancel' in your domain management settings.

Q: Does cancelling GoDaddy affect my domain registration?

Only if you cancel domain services specifically. Hosting and website builder cancellations don't affect domain ownership, but your site will go offline without hosting.

Q: Can I cancel just one service if I have multiple GoDaddy products?

Yes, each GoDaddy service can be cancelled independently. However, bundled packages might lose discounts if you cancel individual components.

Q: How long does GoDaddy cancellation take to process?

Cancellations are usually immediate, but services remain active until the end of your current billing period. Domain auto-renewal changes take effect at the next renewal date.

Cancelling GoDaddy services varies by product type — domains, hosting, email, and website builders each have different processes. This guide covers all cancellation methods and how to manage auto-renewals to avoid unexpected charges.

GoDaddy automatically renews all services unless you specifically turn off auto-renewal. Domain cancellations work differently than hosting — domains can't be truly "cancelled" until they expire, but you can prevent renewal charges.
