Guides and documentation for getting the most out of your servers.

Remove

The Remove Server tab allows you to permanently delete a server from your MaximusHost account.

This page is available for supported MaximusHost game servers.

Removing a server deletes the server instance and associated data after confirmation.

How Removal Works

The first page contains a Remove Server button.

Clicking it opens a confirmation page where you can review the server details and confirm deletion.

Confirmation Page

Before deletion, you may see information such as:

  • Server Name
  • Server Type
  • Plan / Size
  • Address / Subdomain

Example:

  • Name: My Forge
  • Type: minecraft-java
  • Size: custom
  • Address: mine.maximushost.com

This helps ensure you are deleting the correct server.

Permanent Action Warning

Removing a server is usually permanent.

Deletion removes all items such as:

  • World/save data
  • Server files
  • Mods/plugins
  • Configuration files
  • Logs
  • Scheduled tasks
  • Shared access entries
  • Assigned resources

If you may need the server later, create backups first.

Step 4

to permanently delete the server.

Recommended Before Deleting

Create a Backup

Download or create a final backup if the world or data matters.

Save Important Files

Use File Manager or Backups to preserve:

  • Maps
  • Saves
  • Configs
  • Mods
  • Logs

Notify Shared Users

If others use the server, let them know first.

Check Dedicated IP / Costs

Removing unused servers may stop future charges depending on configuration.

Good Reasons to Remove a Server

  • Finished seasonal server
  • Testing server no longer needed
  • Rebuilding fresh
  • Consolidating servers
  • Unused monthly costs

Troubleshooting

Deleted wrong server

If no backup exists, recovery may not be possible.

Always verify server name before confirming.

Want to keep data but remove server

Create backups first, then remove.

Charges continue after deletion

Allow time for billing refresh, or verify no other active servers remain.

Tips

  • Never delete without checking the name twice.
  • Back up first.
  • Cancel if unsure.
  • Use deletion to clean up unused servers and reduce waste.
  • Keep exported backups for important memories.
