GoDaddy automatically renews all services unless you specifically turn off auto-renewal. Domain cancellations work differently than hosting — domains can't be truly "cancelled" until they expire, but you can prevent renewal charges.
How to Cancel GoDaddy Services
Follow these steps to cancel most GoDaddy services. Note that domains and hosting have slightly different cancellation processes.
01
Log into your GoDaddy account
Visit GoDaddy.com and click Sign In in the top right corner. Enter your username and password to access your account dashboard.

Once logged in, click on your profile name in the top right, then select My Products from the dropdown menu to see all your active services.
03
Find the service to cancel
Locate the specific product you want to cancel (hosting, email, website builder, etc.). Click the three dots or Manage button next to that service.
04
Access cancellation options
Look for Cancel or Turn off auto-renew options. For hosting, this might be under Billing & Renewals or Account Settings within that product's management area.
