What Hibernation Actually Does
We take a full snapshot of the VPS and move it to encrypted off-server storage, separate from the live server, before pausing the active subscription. Windows, trading platforms, settings, indicators, templates, scripts, and local data stay together in one protected copy. The server does not keep running, which is rather the point.
When The Strategy Sits Out
A planned break, a strategy revision, or a market regime that does not suit the system can leave a paid server doing very little. Hibernation keeps the environment intact at a lower monthly cost. When you are ready to return, support restores it on the plan that fits the next run.

Bring It Back
Tell support when the strategy is ready to run again. We restore the environment to the previous plan or move it to a different one if the workload has changed. You return to the platform instead of rebuilding Windows.

Yes. Support can restore the environment to the previous plan or redeploy it on another available plan if the workload now needs different CPU, memory, storage, or GPU resources.
It is useful when taking a break from trading, running seasonal strategies, pausing during an evaluation gap, revising a system, or waiting for market conditions that suit the strategy again. If the platforms or automation still need to run, keep the server active.
