Gyro Cloud Istanbul: resizing the plan, server name, labels and deleting the server
1. Before resizing
- Plans: There are 8 plans from
standart-1-2tostandart-8-32(price table). When the plan changes the hourly price follows the new plan's monthly price; the monthly cap also applies per the new plan. - Take a snapshot before resizing (Snapshots); the server may need to shut down briefly during the resize.
- Make sure your balance can cover the new plan's charge.
2. Resizing the plan
- Open your server from My Services. If the service page has a plan upgrade option (an Upgrade tab or a Renew/Upgrade menu) use it; the system shows the new plan and hourly price.
- If the option is not shown, open a request on the Support page: write your service number and the plan you want (for example
standart-4-8). Our team changes the plan and replies. - When it finishes your server runs with the new resources. If the disk also grew, use Management > Storage > Extend Disk inside the panel.
A plan change does not create an invoice; the hourly price follows the new plan's monthly price and the old and new plans appear as separate rows on the Spending page.
3. Server name and labels
- Panel name / label: With the label icon next to the service name you can give your server a nickname (up to 60 characters) and coloured labels (Service nicknames and labels). It helps you search and filter when you have many servers.
- The server's own name: For the host name inside the system run this on the server:
hostnamectl set-hostname web-1.example.com
A server name set in the panel or API is stored only on the service record; it does not change the name inside the server.
4. Deleting the server
The only way to stop the charge is to delete the service. Spending > My prepaid services > Delete; confirm by typing the service number. Deletion cannot be undone; snapshots are deleted too. Details: Stopping and deleting a prepaid service.
gyro server delete 12345 --dry-run
gyro server delete 12345 --yes
5. Frequently asked questions
Will my server shut down while resizing?
The server may need to shut down briefly during a resize. Take a snapshot first and plan the change for a quiet hour.
How is the price calculated after a plan change?
The new plan's hourly price applies from the hour of the change. The monthly cap is calculated separately for each plan (How the hourly price is calculated).
Can I move to a smaller plan?
Open a support ticket; depending on your data and disk size the safest route is often to open a new server, move the data and delete the old one.
