Deleting a Protected Domain Name

This section describes how to delete a protected domain name from WAF.

  • If the domain name to be deleted has been connected to WAF, re-resolve it with the DNS provider before you delete it to make it point to the origin server IP address. Otherwise, traffic intended to it will not be directed to the server, affecting access.
  • Deletion takes effect within 1 minute and deleted domain names cannot be recovered. Therefore, exercise caution when deleting a domain name.

Prerequisites

  • Login credentials have been obtained.
  • The domain name to be deleted is resolved to the origin server address.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner of the management console and select a region or project.
  3. Click Service List at the top of the page. Choose Security > Web Application Firewall. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Domains.
  4. Locate the row that contains the domain name to be deleted. In the Operation column, choose More > Delete.

    • No proxy used
      • Ensure that related configurations are completed and select The CNAME of the domain name has been deleted from the DNS provider, and an A record has been configured to the origin server IP address, or services carried on the domain name have been brought offline.
      • If you want to retain the policy bound to the domain name, select Retain the policy of this domain name.
    • Proxy used
      • Ensure that related configurations are completed and select The domain name has been pointed to the origin server on the Advanced Anti-DDoS, CDN, or cloud acceleration product side, or services carried on the domain name have been brought offline.
      • If you want to retain the policy bound to the domain name, select Retain the policy of this domain name.

  5. Click Yes. If Domain deleted successfully is displayed in the upper right corner, the domain name is deleted.
