# Change server type

You can change the cloud server type — make a non-preemptible server [preemptible](/cloud-servers/about/preemptible-servers.mdx) and vice versa.

:::danger

A preemptible server can be stopped by Selectel at any time within 24 hours of creation. You can change the server type to preemptible only once every 24 hours.

    1. [Open the OpenStack CLI](/cloud-servers/tools/openstack-cli/).
    2. Change the server type:

    * to preemptible:

      ```bash
      openstack server set \
        --tag preemptible \
        --os-compute-api-version 2.72 \
        <server>
      ```

    * to preemptible:

      ```bash
      openstack server unset \
        --tag preemptible \
        --os-compute-api-version 2.72 \
        <server>
      ```

      Specify `<server>` — the server ID or name; you can view the list using the `openstack server list` command.
