Remove application from netlify servers

[cwaj]

Hello! I have hosted my application on Netlify for a while without issues. Now I want to host my application and custom domain on a different platform. So I have deleted my app from Netlify (competent-shaw-d4765c.netlify.app), which linked to a custom domain (www.berwick-house.com).

However when running $ curl -I www.berwick-house.com on the command line, I can see the Server is still Netlify:

HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
Cache-Control: private, max-age=0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Server: Netlify
X-Nf-Request-Id: 01GAM8XGGNYMJNKBFEJ4J58B0Z
Date: Tue, 16 Aug 2022 21:28:24 GMT

My application has been down for a day now as a result. How do I remove my custom domain from netlify’s servers?

Hi @cwaj

This is what I see when visiting berwick-house.com

And this is the result of the same cURL command

DNS changes take up to 48 hours.

Hey @coelmay - thanks so much for this.

So I suppose I should see the same in an additional 24 hours? I currently see:

Cheers,

According to DNS Checker berwick-house.com is now using Cloudflare DNS. Thus, it is likely a caching issue.

So yes, you will see this until the DNS cache updates.
