What Happens if My Server is Suspended?

When your server first suspends, it just freezes. It's no longer joinable, and you cannot access it. All of your files are safe. 

After 7 days of being suspended, your server will be terminated and all files will be lost.

If the unpaid invoice is paid within 7 days after your server is suspended, the server will automatically unsuspend, and all data will remain as long as future invoices are paid. If they are not paid, the server will resuspend when the next invoiced payment is missed.
