Manage Block Storage

i. Add Storage

1. In the order information view, under BLOCK STORAGE section click Buy More. 

2. Click Buy Additional Storage.

3. Select the size of the volume or enter a custom value and also select the duration you would like to purchase the volume for.

   Note

   The expiry date of the volume will be independent of the VPS expiry. The volume will be active till the duration you select from the date of purchase.

4. Click the Pay with Wallet or Pay Online button, depending on your mode of payment.

5. Proceed to pay for the invoice generated.

   Note

   Once the payment is completed, the provisioning takes about 30 mins. To avoid any configuration hassles and to make a volume ready for use, we not only attach it but also automatically mount it on that server.

   However, if you have custom configurations on your servers that prevent the volume from mounting automatically you may have to mount the volume manually on the server. Learn how.

ii. Renew Storage

There are multiple ways in which you can renew your Block Storage order. For a particular VPS order, you can have multiple Block Storage orders assigned, but you will have to renew each of them separately based on their expiration date. You can renew your Block Storage order by following the steps mentioned below.
