## Via Support Ticket

Alternatively, open a support ticket requesting cancellation and specify whether you want it at end of billing period or immediately.

## Before You Cancel

<Warning>
  Once a bare metal server is terminated, all data on the server is permanently destroyed. This includes files, databases, configurations, and anything stored on the server's drives. This cannot be reversed.
</Warning>

Before cancelling, ensure you have:

* Downloaded any files you need via SFTP, SCP, or rsync
* Exported any databases
* Saved any configurations you want to reuse
* Updated DNS records pointing to this server
* Migrated services to a new server if applicable

## Multi-month Contracts and Early Cancellation

Servers on annual contracts are eligible for early cancellation. An early termination fee applies, as agreed upon in your contract at the time of signing. To initiate an early cancellation, contact `support@digitalfyre.com` to review your contract terms and confirm the applicable fee before submitting a cancellation request.
