How To Delete A Server

Inactive and offline servers on your RunCloud will still count against your server usage quota. So, if you are no longer managing your server through RunCloud, you can remove it from your RunCloud dashboard to free up your RunCloud server quota. 

This will delete all of your server’s RunCloud data and settings. However, if you provisioned the server manually, it will not delete the actual VPS or its files. You will need to delete the VPS separately from your hosting provider.

Warning: Removing your server from RunCloud is irreversible. You cannot restore your server or its data once you remove it. Please ensure you have backed up any important files or databases before proceeding.

To remove your server from RunCloud, follow these steps:

Step #1 – On the RunCloud dashboard, select the server you want to remove.

Step #2 – Click on Settings in the left sidebar.

Step #3 – Scroll to the Danger Zone section and click Delete This Server.

Step #4 – Read the Delete Server instructions carefully and make sure you understand the consequences of removing your server.

Step #5 – Enter the name of the server and click “Proceed to Delete“.

Note: This action only removes your server from RunCloud. It does not affect the actual VPS or its configuration. You will still need to delete the VPS from your hosting provider if you want to stop paying for it.

Step #6 – If you have provisioned your server via RunCloud integration, you have the option to delete everything, including your server, web applications, data, and other web resources. If you do not check “I authorize RunCloud…”, your data will not be deleted.

If you select “I authorize RunCloud…”, your server will be removed from your RunCloud dashboard and VPS provider.

If your server was successfully deleted, you will see a confirmation message on your screen. You can also click on the notification (bell) icon at the top left of your screen to view past notifications.
