# Disconnect a server from Nuvlo

Stop managing a server in Nuvlo while it keeps running at your provider.

## Before you start

- The owner or admin role in your Nuvlo account.

## Step 1: Open Disconnect

Open the server, click the **Settings** tab and scroll to **Danger zone**. Click **Disconnect server**. On the [Servers](https://app.nuvlo.dev/dashboard/servers) page you can also open the row menu and choose **Disconnect**.

## Step 2: Confirm

The dialog lists what is removed. Click the **Disconnect** button with the server's name, or **Disconnect and remove 2 sites** (with your count) if sites run on it.

## What happens

- The server and everything on it keep running at your provider, and the provider keeps billing you.
- The server's sites, their domains and deployment history are removed from Nuvlo. The sites themselves keep running on the server.
- Nuvlo no longer has access to the server. Its snapshots stay listed in Nuvlo so you can still restore or delete them.

> **Warning:** To manage a disconnected server again, [connect it with one command](https://app.nuvlo.dev/docs/connect-any-server) and tick that it already runs software. Nuvlo sets it up again; its sites have to be added again.

If you want the server gone at the provider too, use [Delete a server](https://app.nuvlo.dev/docs/delete-a-server) instead.
