OVHcloud offers you the ability to commit to your Dedicated Servers and VPS products for periods of six months, 12 months, and 24 months depending on the specific product you purchase. Additionally, you will be able to choose whether to pay monthly or up-front for longer commitments. In this article, we will cover how you can manage these commitment features from the OVHcloud Control Panel.

Starting Your First Commitment in the OVHcloud Control Panel
Note: In this article, we will be using a Dedicated Server. However, the same process applies to VPS as well.
To begin, log into the OVHcloud Control Panel and click Bare Metal Cloud at the top of the page. On the left-hand sidebar, select the service on which you wish to set your commitment. In the "Subscription" box, click the ... next to the "Next renewal date" box and select Manage my commitment from the drop-down menu.
You will be taken to a new page where you can renew your commitment. Please bear in mind the following rules:
- You may choose to commit to a longer term for the discount, but still pay monthly
- If you do nothing at all, your commitment will automatically renew for the same price and terms
- Once you have a commitment in place, you can only terminate your commitment early by paying the remainder of what you owe on the commitment*
Proceed through the order funnel. Once you are finished, your new commitment will begin at your next renewal date. You can view your renewal date in the "Subscription" box on the General information tab (see the first screenshot).
Managing Your Current Commitments in the OVHcloud Control Panel

- If you do nothing at all, your commitment will automatically renew for the same price and terms
- Once you have a commitment in place, you can only terminate your commitment early by paying the remainder of what you owe on the commitment*
Proceed through the order funnel. During the "Confirm" step, a summary will appear at the bottom of the page informing you of when your next commitment will begin.
Canceling Your Commitments in the OVHcloud Control Panel
If you already have a commitment, you have the option of canceling your commitment, which will become effective at the end of the commitment period.
To cancel your commitment, log into the OVHcloud Control Panel and click Bare Metal Cloud at the top of the page. On the left-hand sidebar, select the service on which you wish to modify your commitment. In the "Subscription" box, click the ... next to the "Next renewal date" box and select Cancel from the drop-down menu.
You will be taken to the following screen where you will have the option to cancel the commitment and delete your service upon its conclusion or to cancel the commitment and continue paying month-to-month at the full price.
