The command
ssh git@rentfree.site delete yourname
You have to type your Site's exact name as confirmation — a typo or a mismatched name is rejected, not silently corrected. Your key can only ever delete the Site it's bound to.
What gets erased
Deletion is total. In one step, it removes:
- Everything served at your subdomain (the docroot)
- The server-side git repository and its full history
- The database record of your Site
- Your Contact Email, if you gave one
- Every metering row ever recorded for your Site (traffic, bandwidth)
This is the same erasure path the operator would use for a takedown — there's exactly one way to delete a Site, and self-service delete is it. Deletion is a legal obligation (erasure of personal data), not a courtesy, which is why it's total rather than a soft "hide."
The name comes back
Once deleted, your Site's name is immediately free for anyone to register again — including you, with a fresh Site.
There's no undo
There's no trash, no grace period, and no way to ask for the content back afterward. If you want a record of what was there, keep your own local clone — the server's copy is gone the moment the command succeeds.
