# How to remove a DNS zone from WHM

Removing a DNS zone from WHM is a simple process, typically done when a domain is no longer hosted on the server, or its DNS is managed elsewhere. Here’s how to do it:

**Prerequisites**

- Have root access to the server's WHM.

##### **Step 1: Log in to WHM either with the root account. Normally you will use one of the URLs below;**

```
http://your_server_ip:2087

https://your_server_hostname:2087
```
