# Settings

> Transfer, archive, or permanently delete a TunnelFleet server.

Open a server and select the **Settings** tab. Destructive actions live under **Danger**.

You need permission to manage servers. Transfer also requires owner/admin access and another eligible organization.

## Archive server

Archive stops VPN service on the server but keeps the TunnelFleet record and DNS so you can restore later.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Click Archive server">
    In **Danger**, choose **Archive server**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm">
    Type the exact server name, then click **Confirm**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

What happens:

* VPN protocols are stopped
* Clients cannot connect until you unarchive
* The server is hidden from the live servers list
* DNS for `*.server.tunnelfleet.com` is kept

On an archived server you can **Unarchive** or **Delete server**.

## Transfer server

Move the server to another organization you belong to.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Click Transfer server">
    In **Danger**, choose **Transfer server**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose destination">
    Select a **Destination organization** from the list.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Transfer">
    Click **Transfer server** and wait for the redirect to the destination org.
  </Step>
</Steps>

What happens:

* The server record moves immediately to the destination organization
* TunnelFleet does **not** move or rebuild the VPS at your cloud provider
* The physical machine and public IP stay the same

Transfer is disabled if:

* You are not an owner or admin
* You have no other unlocked organization with available server quota where you are an owner or admin

## Delete server

Permanently remove the server from TunnelFleet.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Click Delete server">
    In **Danger**, choose **Delete server**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm">
    Type the exact server name, then click **Confirm**. Deleted servers cannot be restored.
  </Step>
</Steps>

What happens:

* The server is permanently removed from TunnelFleet
* Associated DNS is cleaned up
* Your cloud VPS itself is **not** destroyed — cancel or delete the VPS at your provider if you no longer need the machine

Prefer **Archive** when you might bring the server back. Prefer **Delete** when you are done with it in TunnelFleet.
