Hibernating and waking a server: step by step

Hibernate a server

1. Open your server from Services in your client area.
2. In the actions panel, choose ❄️ Hibernate instead of Cancel.
3. A summary shows your free days remaining and what happens next. Confirm.
4. Your server is suspended, billing pauses, and your remaining prepaid time is banked.

While it's frozen

The service card shows a Hibernated status with a day counter and what happens next (free days left, next invoice date, or grace status). Your world is untouched the whole time.

Wake the server

1. Open the hibernated service.
2. Click Wake server.
3. The server resumes, your banked prepaid days are restored, and you're back online — usually within a moment for a freshly paused server.

Eligibility

To hibernate, a service must be active, on a recurring plan, with no unpaid invoice, and active for the minimum period since its last resume. If the Hibernate button isn't available, one of these conditions isn't met yet.

WingVault is coming soon — these steps reflect the launch experience.
