An expired server is stopped. Normally it keeps its allocation for 3 days before moving into the archive; the archive window is 7 days. An explicitly deleted server enters the archive.
Step by step
- Check the expiry or archive deadline shown in the server list.
- If the server is only expired, use its configuration to purchase further runtime.
- For an archived server, choose Restore to open the restoration configurator.
- Choose resources and duration, review the price and confirm. Restoration starts only after the order succeeds.
- After restoration, copy the current address and check your subdomain and plugin port settings.
Check the result
Archived servers release their IP/ports. Restoration does not promise the previous allocation.
Important
The displayed deadline is decisive, including any administrator adjustment. Archive retention is not a substitute for your own downloaded backups.
