Title: Delete Website Last modified: November 23, 2020 --- # Delete Website * [jazzbrass](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jazzbrass/) * (@jazzbrass) * [5 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/delete-website-6/) * I need to delete my website to my old business. That’s literally it. I’ve been searching my dashboard and cannot find any way to do this. * I forgot my hosting provider for this site; whoishostingthis.com does not yield any results. * I know next to nothing about wordpress, I just need the website deleted. * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fdelete-website-6%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * [corrinarusso](https://wordpress.org/support/users/corrinarusso/) * (@corrinarusso) * [5 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/delete-website-6/#post-13699921) * You can login to your host, and remove the site from there, or ask them to help you : [https://access.name-services.com/](https://access.name-services.com/) [https://www.whatsmydns.net/#NS/jbinspection.com](https://www.whatsmydns.net/#NS/jbinspection.com) * Or you could contact your registrar and update the DNS to be a parked domain : [https://www.enom.com/](https://www.enom.com/) * You could also ftp over to your site, and dump in a file called index.html that says “your site is offline”. * At worst, you could install a Maintenance Plugin that says your site is offline: [https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/coming-soon/](https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/coming-soon/) * [Vlad](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vladytimy/) * (@vladytimy) * [5 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/delete-website-6/#post-13699952) * Hi [@jazzbrass](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jazzbrass/) * The steps I can think of that don’t involve any cPanel / FTP access would be 1. Login to /wp-admin 2. Go to Pages and delete all of them 3. Go to Posts and delete all of them 4. Additionally, install _Simple Website Redirect_ (or other redirect plugin) and redirect the whole site to whatever site you want ( wordpress. org would be nice 😁) * The above steps are not the optimal way to delete a WP site. The optimal way requires access to cPanel where you should delete files and database. * Kind regards, Vlad * [corrinarusso](https://wordpress.org/support/users/corrinarusso/) * (@corrinarusso) * [5 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/delete-website-6/#post-13699959) * There’s also a plugin named WP Reset to start from scratch : [https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-reset/](https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-reset/) * Then redirect. * Thread Starter [jazzbrass](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jazzbrass/) * (@jazzbrass) * [5 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/delete-website-6/#post-13700013) * Thanks for responding. I think I got a redirect plugin working to my new site. * I called enom and they said they are not hosting the old site (no idea who is.) I’m not sure about any of the other steps because I don’t know what a DNS or an FTP is, but I’ll look into it. (I promise I’m more useful in other aspects of life.) * Thanks again * Moderator [Steven Stern (sterndata)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sterndata/) * (@sterndata) * Volunteer Forum Moderator * [5 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/delete-website-6/#post-13700021) * Your site is hosted at “Ting Fiber”.

The only hosts I’ve ever worked with was hostgator, enom, (which could’ve sworn hosted this site,) and whatever squarespace uses. * Interesting.

So, this does not seem to be a wordpress issue. * Thread Starter [jazzbrass](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jazzbrass/) * (@jazzbrass) * [5 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/delete-website-6/#post-13700087) * [@sterndata](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sterndata/), yes a few minutes ago I installed a plugin, suggested on this forum, to rediret my wordpress site for my old business jbinspection.com to my new squarespace site borgeshomeinspections. com * I’ll have to get around to actually deleting the old site but this is a good start. Thanks for getting me on the right track for that.
