Rename, move or delete a server

Rename a cloud server, move it to another project so its costs show there, reset the root password, or delete the server and stop billing.

All of these are on the server's Settings tab (Compute › Instances › the server › Settings).

Rename a server

Under General, change the Name and select Save changes. The name is only shown in the console; the server's hostname doesn't change.

Move it to a project

Projects group servers and their costs on invoices. Under Project, pick one and select Move. From then on the server's costs show on that project.

Reset the root password

See Connect to your server › Reset the root password.

Delete a server

  1. Under Delete instance, type the server's name to confirm.
  2. Select Delete instance.
Billing stops immediately. The disk is erased and the IP address is released. This can't be undone.
