# Managing a running server

> What the server page lets you do: reboot, rename, extend the term, switch auto-renewal, resume a suspended server, cancel, and what each action costs.

Everything about a running server lives on its page in the console. Actions that cost money say so before they run, and destructive ones ask twice.

| Action | What it does | Cost |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Reboot** | Hard reset through IPMI. Back in under two minutes; NVMe data untouched. | none |
| **Rename** | Changes the label in the console and the API. The hostname does not change. | none |
| **Extend** | Charges one more term now and pushes the renewal date out by one term. | one term |
| **Auto-renew on / off** | Off: the server stops at the end of the paid term and is erased 14 days later. On again before that: nothing lost. | none |
| **Resume** | Brings a suspended server back exactly as it was. | one term |
| **Re-image** | Reinstalls the chosen OS and template. Wipes the NVMe. Same price, same address. | none |
| **Cancel** | Immediate. The server is released and erased; the rest of the paid term is not refunded. | none |

## Statuses

- **provisioning:** Ordered, being installed. Address shown when ready.
- **online:** Running, paid until the date shown.
- **renewal due:** The term ended and the balance did not cover it; 72 hours of grace, still online.
- **suspended:** Powered off, data kept 14 days. Resume charges one term.
- **cancelled:** Released and erased. Kept in the list for your records.

## From the API

`GET /api/v1/servers` returns the same statuses and dates. Actions are not exposed yet; they follow feature by feature, and the [reference](https://dedigpu.com/api) says which are live.
