Invalidate a domain

Invalidate a domain if you don’t need to use it any longer. For example, when you lose ownership of the domain or you deactivate a property. When you invalidate a domain, ​Akamai​ won’t recognize you as its owner.

  1. From the ​Akamai Control Center​ menu, select Domain Ownership Manager (DOM).
  2. From the list, select the domain you want to invalidate and click the Action menu icon.
  3. Click Invalidate.

The domain is now invalidated and will be automatically deleted as part of a cleanup procedure. You can also delete it manually. To retrieve an invalidated domain, submit it for validation again.
