Hey guys, I have changed the domain of my website from example.org to example.christmas I have redirected the domain as well as submitted change of address in google webmaster tools. The domain will be expireing in March, How do I know when I can delete the domain. In google webmaster tools change of address at the bottom I see this message, Submitted Your request for a site move has succeeded. If you believe this is an error, you can withdraw the request. I forgot what it said before, Does this mean I can now delete the domain?
I'd keep it in your WMT account until the domain expires. Once you see that you no longer have access to the domain, and your new domain is indexed and displaying in SERPS, get rid.
Better you keep both the domain and give a 301 permanent redirection from the unused one. People might be clicking on your old url from links, and you have chance to get visitors. Check how many visitors are getting from your old domain, if its not worth, delete it.
