How to Cancel a Apex Hosting Server

Greetings, Dev! We understand that canceling a hosting server can be a daunting task, but do not worry as we are here to guide you through the process. In this article, we will be discussing 20 consecutive steps on how to cancel a Apex Hosting server in the easiest way possible. Let’s begin!

Step 1: Determine the Type of Server

The first step to canceling an Apex Hosting server is to determine the type of server that you have. There are two types of servers – Minecraft servers and dedicated servers. The cancellation process varies depending on the type of server, so it is important to know which one you have before proceeding.

Minecraft Server

If you have a Minecraft server, then you will need to follow the steps below:

Step 2: Log in to Your Apex Hosting Account

The second step is to log in to your Apex Hosting account. You can do this by going to the Apex Hosting website and clicking on the “Log in” button located at the top right-hand corner of the homepage.

Step 3: Navigate to the Server Control Panel

Once you have logged in to your account, navigate to the server control panel. This can be found on the dashboard of your account under the “My Servers” tab. Click on the server that you want to cancel.

Step 4: Stop the Server

Before canceling the server, you will need to stop it. To do this, click on the “Stop Server” button located on the control panel.

Step 5: Back Up Your Server

It is important to back up your server before canceling it, as this will allow you to restore it at a later time if you change your mind. To back up the server, click on the “Backup” tab on the control panel and select “Create Backup”.

Step 6: Cancel the Server

Once you have backed up the server, it is now time to cancel it. Go to the “Billing” tab on the control panel and select “Cancel Server”. Follow the prompts to complete the cancellation process.

Dedicated Server

If you have a dedicated server, then you will need to follow the steps below:

Step 2: Submit a Cancellation Request

The second step is to submit a cancellation request. You can do this by opening a support ticket with Apex Hosting. Provide them with your server details and request for the server cancellation.

Step 3: Backup Your Server

Similar to Minecraft servers, it is important to back up your dedicated server before canceling it. This will allow you to restore it at a later time if you change your mind. Follow the instructions given by Apex Hosting to backup your server.

Step 4: Cancel the Server

Once you have backed up the server, it is now time to cancel it. Apex Hosting will guide you through the process of canceling your dedicated server. Follow the instructions given to you by their support team.

Step 5: Confirm Cancellation

After submitting the cancellation request, you will need to confirm the cancellation. Follow the instructions provided by Apex Hosting to confirm your cancellation.

Step 6: Monitor Your Email

After confirming the cancellation, monitor your email for any updates from Apex Hosting regarding your cancellation request. They will keep you updated on the status of your cancellation.

Step 7: Check Your Billing Information

Once your server has been canceled, check your billing information to ensure that you are no longer being charged for the server. If you continue to be charged, contact Apex Hosting support immediately to resolve the issue.
