Cold Storage

What is Cold Storage?

Cold Storage is an option that will allow you to cancel your service and keep the data that was on your service. This will allow you to take a break from running your service and restore it at a future date.

How to enable Cold Storage?

If you want to take advantage of our cold storage feature you can do so when cancelling your service if you select the "Taking a break" option.

NOTE
You can get 90 days free of cold storage for your service. 
You will then be charged £1.50 ex VAT per month to store your service unless cancelled.

After selecting the taking a break option you will be given an option to enable our cloud storage feature. To enable the feature simply click on the toggle button.
