Pause your server
Save yourself the headaches with the Flex package and pause your server without worrying about losing resources. Your storage, CPUs, RAM and IP address are all reserved for you, and while your plan is paused, only the total amount of storage given to your plan is billed.

If you've got costs on your mind, don't worry. You can view a detailed summary of all chargeable features in your CloudNX plan and delve deeper into your usage and charges for each item.
Estimated usage
