Domain name registration leads to the fact that it has an owner who bears full responsibility for this resource. In the event that the domain is no longer needed, the owner can officially refuse it.

Step 1
The need for an official rejection of a domain may be caused by a desire to knowingly exclude any possible legal consequences. Since the domain can be used to post a variety of materials, including those that may fall under the existing legislation, the rejection of the domain name will allow you to have full immunity from any claims from the date of its implementation. But for everything that happened on the resource from the moment of domain registration to the day of its abandonment, the former owner continues to bear responsibility.
Step 2
Rejecting a domain is more difficult than registering it, since rejection refers to the so-called critical procedures. This means that in order to refuse, you must not only write an application to the company that registered the domain, but also provide copies of documents confirming your identity and, accordingly, the right to own the domain. A form to refuse registration, as a rule, is on the website of the domain name registrar, you just need to download it and fill it out.
Step 3
If the domain belongs to a legal entity, the application for rejection of the domain must be certified by the seal of the company and the signature of the person authorized to certify such documents. Copies of all documents can be sent electronically.
Step 4
Domain name cancellation is not accepted if the domain name has been blocked, if it is not possible to confirm the registration data of the domain owner, if there are legal claims and if 60 days have not passed since the date of acceptance of the rights to the domain transferred to the administrator by a third party.
Step 5
Should you always give up a domain you no longer need? No, registration will be automatically interrupted if you do not renew it - that is, do not pay for the domain for the next year. In practice, it is enough for the domain name owner to simply delete the site from the hosting, after which he can safely forget about it. In the event that a site that you no longer need is a completely successful project and has a good number of visitors, it would be more correct to try to sell it. The specific price of a resource depends on the level of its popularity. Sometimes you can sell just a domain name if it has a sonorous, memorable name. A good domain name costs on average $ 1,000 and up.
