How do I delete my VPS?

If you have a managed dedicated server you can follow the instructions below to delete your own VPSs

If you do NOT have a dedicated server you'll need to send an email to support@brownrice.com and have us delete your VPS for you.

For managed and dedicated / privatevz customers follow these steps to permanently delete your VPS:

  1. Log in to your Dashboard
  2. Navigate to DEDICATED
  3. Select your Private Server Name: yourvpsname.com 
    -> Click Manage (green button)
  4. Go to VPS Resources
  5. Select your Container/VPS: yourvpsname.com 
    -> Click Delete (red button) and follow the instructions.

Please note that this is a PERMANENT function!  While we can restore deleted VPSs from our backups for 10 days the IP will be placed back in our available pool and the IP may be re-assigned to another customer.  Addtionally, after 10 days there will be no way to retrieve any of the data on that was on the deleted VPS.
