Find out how to cancel the Anycast DNS option subscribed for your domain name from your OVHcloud Control Panel

Objective

The Anycast DNS option speeds up your domain name's DNS resolution across the globe. Do you no longer need this acceleration, or no longer wish to renew it when it expires?

Find out how to cancel the Anycast DNS option for your domain name from your OVHcloud Control Panel.

Requirements

OVHcloud Control Panel Access

  • Direct link:
  • Navigation path: Web Cloud > Domain names > Select your domain name

Instructions

Info

The cancellation does not take effect immediately: the Anycast DNS option remains active and operational until its expiry date. It is not renewed and is removed on that date.

Click on the tabs below to view each of the 4 steps.

List of domain names in the OVHcloud Control Panel

Once the cancellation has been recorded, check it from your domain name's General information tab: the Configuration section shows the status of the Anycast DNS option, along with its effective date.

Info

After the cancellation's effective date, your domain name no longer uses the Anycast DNS servers. Bear in mind the natural DNS propagation time, which can take up to 48 hours.
