Moving to a bigger plan, and what deleting a server early costs on DigitalOcean.
Resizing
- Smaller plans
- Yes, when the smaller plan’s disk holds what is on the server
- Disk
- Keep the disk size, or grow it to the new plan’s disk (permanent)
- IP address
- Stays the same
Takes about a minute per GB of used disk. A grown disk rules out plans with a smaller disk later.
- Create credentials
In the DigitalOcean control panel, open API → Tokens and generate a token with write access.
- Paste them into Nuvlo
Under Workspace → Server providers. Nuvlo checks them with DigitalOcean before saving and stores them encrypted.
- Create a server
Pick a region and plan. Nuvlo builds and hardens it in a few minutes, then you add sites.
Providers with regions in the same parts of the world.
What does a DigitalOcean server cost with Nuvlo?
DigitalOcean bills its list price, from $6.00 a month for Basic 1C/1GB. Nuvlo is separate: free for one server and 1 site, paid plans from €12 a month.
Do I need my own DigitalOcean account?
Yes. Nuvlo creates servers in your account with the credentials you connect, and DigitalOcean bills you directly.
Can I connect more than one account?
Yes. Connect several accounts per provider, for example one per client.
What happens to the server if I leave Nuvlo?
It stays in your DigitalOcean account and keeps running: a standard Ubuntu server with nginx that you can SSH into with your key.
Can I make a server bigger later?
From Nuvlo: it stops the server, changes the plan, starts it and checks it. Smaller plans: yes, when the smaller plan’s disk holds what is on the server. Takes about a minute per GB of used disk. A grown disk rules out plans with a smaller disk later.
How do backups work on DigitalOcean?
Nuvlo backs up files and databases to your own storage bucket on any schedule from hourly to monthly. You can also switch on DigitalOcean’s own server backups: daily, +30% of the server price, last 7 kept; or weekly, +20% of the server price, last 4 kept. Snapshots: $0.06 per gb a month.
What happens when I delete a server?
The server is deleted at DigitalOcean right away. DigitalOcean keeps the backups for up to 4 weeks, then removes them.
Your first server and site are free, with no card and no time limit. Connect a provider token and Nuvlo starts building it.
