How to downgrade Domain Protection

If you no longer need Domain Protection, you can downgrade to Basic Domain Control at any time from your Control Panel.

Downgrading removes the additional security features included in Domain Protection. Your domain will continue to work normally, but some protections and tools will no longer be available.

Before you proceed, please note that Domain Lock and Guest users must be removed before downgrading Domain Protection.
