# Put your server into hibernation

{% hint style="info" %}
Hibernation puts your service on hold. Your data remains stored. The server is **unavailable** while it is in hibernation.
{% endhint %}

### Objective

Pause a server without losing data. Reduce cost by only paying for storage.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Hibernation applies to the **next renewal**. Please check the information before confirming.
{% endhint %}

### Step-by-step guide

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Check status and billing**

Once activated, you will have an information banner on your server page.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

#### Reactivate a service

You can reactivate the service at any time from the dashboard.

### Common issues

* **I don't see “Pause”** : check that you are the owner of the subscription.
* **My server is still active** : hibernation applies to the **next renewal**.
* **The server is unavailable** : this is normal. The service is paused.
* **I don't understand the billing** : you only pay for storage during hibernation.

### FAQ

#### Are my data deleted?

No. They remain stored as long as the service is in hibernation.

#### Does the server run during hibernation?

No. The server is paused and inaccessible.
