You need to mount it, format it, attach to the operating system. I think this might help you as bash script to do so:
!/usr/bin/env bash
set -euo pipefail
DISK="/dev/vdb"
PART="${DISK}1"
MOUNTPOINT="/mnt/data"
TARGET_USER=""
GROUP=""
echo "[1] verify disk exists"
lsblk "$DISK"
echo "[2] create GPT label"
parted -s "$DISK" mklabel gpt
echo "[3] create single full-size partition"
parted -s "$DISK" mkpart primary ext4 0% 100%
echo "[4] notify kernel"
partprobe "$DISK"
sleep 2
echo "[5] create filesystem"
mkfs.ext4 -F "$PART"
echo "[6] create mountpoint"
mkdir -p "$MOUNTPOINT"
echo "[7] mount partition"
mount "$PART" "$MOUNTPOINT"
echo "[8] persist in fstab"
UUID=$(blkid -s UUID -o value "$PART")
grep -q "$UUID" /etc/fstab || echo "UUID=$UUID $MOUNTPOINT ext4 defaults,nofail 0 2" >> /etc/fstab
echo "[9] create group if missing"
getent group "$GROUP" >/dev/null || groupadd "$GROUP"
echo "[10] add user to group"
usermod -aG "$GROUP" "$TARGET_USER"
echo "[11] set permissions"
chown root:"$GROUP" "$MOUNTPOINT"
chmod 2775 "$MOUNTPOINT"
echo "[12] verify"
ls -ld "$MOUNTPOINT"
df -h "$MOUNTPOINT"
id "$TARGET_USER"
echo "Now re-login for perms to be visible"
With large disks, personally I prefer to use LVM. For debian:
Obviously change the size and name in the
lvcreateline as appropriate, and in the fstab use the UUID from theblkidoutput.As anyone here is waiting for HH's birthday offers in April, just a short question:
Does HH support paypal subscriptions or billing agreements? I've just seen onetime payments via pp in the dashboard?
@hosthatch am I just stupid in not finding that option?
The special offers are always annual or biennial/triennial deals. Annual will significantly reduce their payment processing fees (just once instead of 12 times) and the multi-year upfront payments will obviously allow them to reduce the gap between buying the server upfront and getting paid by clients using it, again making it cheaper for them.
I believe their regular products are all available monthly, quarterly or semiannually as well as the longer periods, but obviously the regular prices are more expensive than their deals. I've never used them because I love the deal prices and in general I can wait before buying the next thing, but the regular prices do seem pretty competitive especially in APAC.
@ralf I actually do have yearly, biennial and monthly products - that's just the billing cycle.
I am talking about the technical use of paypal at HostHatch - esp. about enabling auto-payment via paypal billing agreement (which means HH could just automatically deduct the invoice amount from pp) or subscription (ok, this one would only work for monthly probably, so paypal billing agreement would be the best option).
Ooooh. Sorry, I guess my brain saw subscription and assumed you wanted something monthly. Yeah, totally didn't answer your question!

Looks like, my server's connectivity dropped a few times.
When will Celebrating 15 years kick off?
is Celebrating 15 years coming?
When will Celebrating 15 years kick off?
IIRC their actual anniversary date is tomorrow, but in previous years they've made their announcement up to a week afterwards. Hopefully they'll wait until next week as I'm busy this weekend!
When will Celebrating 15 years kick off?
i have their bi-annual storage offer from 2024 bf sales.
i am wondering do they allow renewals (which is promised already) or not, with the rising hardware costs.
if they don't honor renewas at current price, i wish they inform that upfront (no hard feelings) so i can transfer data to somewhere else.
When will Celebrating 15 years kick off?
when the time comes
They generate invoices 2 weeks in advance of renewal, so you would probably have enough notice to grab a different BF deal in that case.
All of my servers to date have renewed at their initial price, even though the prices increase slightly in the sales every year. Personally, I doubt they'd charge more for hardware they already own, but I guess it's always possible. My most recent renewal was in January if that helps.
We do not charge anything extra on renewals, recurring prices remain the same.
Thanks for the interest in the anniversary sales. Currently dealing with a lot so they won't be happening tomorrow, which is the actual 15th anniversary, but we'll try and do them close to next Monday (the 20th of April).
