Warning

You cannot decrease the disk size later. If the server has an older rate, the dialog shows Resizing will change your rate. The new plan uses current prices, and you cannot get the old rate back.

  2. Click the lock button next to Actions. Its tooltip is Turn on termination protection.

To turn it off, click the lock button again. If the region does not confirm the change, the console shows Termination protection wasn't changed and the setting stays as it was.
