This guide covers terminating a Kamatera cloud server. Termination permanently removes the server and stops billing.
Complete the pre-termination checklist before proceeding. Server termination is irreversible.

​
Kamatera Console

1

Sign in to the Kamatera console

Sign in to your Kamatera account and navigate to My Cloud.
2

Open your server list

Click Servers in the left navigation panel. This lists all servers in your account.
3

Select your server

Find the server running OpenClaw. Confirm the correct server by checking its IP address against what appeared on the watchboard.
4

Terminate the server

Click the server to open its details, then click Terminate (or click the action menu on the server row and choose Terminate). Confirm the action in the dialog.Kamatera sends a confirmation email when the server is successfully terminated.

​
Option 2: Kamatera REST API

Kamatera does not provide a dedicated CLI tool. For scripted or automated termination, use the Kamatera REST API. Authenticate with your Kamatera API client ID and secret (available from the Kamatera console under API Keys), then send a DELETE request to the server endpoint. Refer to the Kamatera API reference for the exact endpoint path and request format for your server type.

​
Post-termination cleanup

​
Verify billing has stopped

Check the Billing section of the Kamatera console to confirm charges for the terminated server have stopped. Kamatera bills by the hour, so charges should stop within an hour of termination.

​
Remove associated public IPs

If the server had a dedicated public IP that was billed separately, release it from the IP Management section of your account to stop associated charges.

​
Delete stored disk images

If you created any server images (backups or snapshots) from this server before termination, navigate to My Cloud → Images and delete any images you no longer need.

​
Rotate credentials

After termination, rotate everything the agent had access to. See the post-termination checklist for the full list.
