Deleting a site removes the whole domain from your hosting: the website with all its files, its database and the domain’s mailboxes. It can’t be undone from the app, which is why it asks you twice.
Step by step
- In the Aiden Hosting app, Hosting tab, tap the site
- Scroll down to Danger zone and tap Delete this site
- In the Delete site warning, tap Delete site
- A second warning lists everything that will be lost. If you’re sure, tap Yes, delete
If you tap Cancel in either warning, nothing is deleted.
What you lose
- The website and all its files
- Its databases
- The domain’s mailboxes, with the emails in them
What doesn’t change
- The domain is still yours. If you registered it with Aiden, it stays in the Domains tab
- Your hosting plan isn’t cancelled. It keeps being charged until you cancel it in the billing section of your Aiden Account
⚠️ Important: before deleting, save anything you want to keep: download the files over FTP (see FTP or SFTP details, PHP version and databases) and make a copy of your emails.
💡 Tip: if you only want your WordPress site to stop showing for a while, you don’t need to delete it: in the My Website tab, tap … → Manage WordPress and turn on Maintenance mode. Visitors will see a notice until you turn it off.
If you made a mistake, write to us as soon as possible from Support in the app or at support@aiden.es.
