# How to restart Alby Hub after my subscription was cancelled?

If your **Alby Cloud** subscription remains unpaid for several weeks, your Alby Hub will be shut down and the subscription will be automatically canceled.

This prevents your Alby Account from accumulating additional charges.

You can restart your Hub anytime following these steps:

1. Go to **getalby.com/subscription/new** and subscribe to **Alby Cloud**.
2. Complete the onboarding process or visit **my.albyhub.com** if you left in between.
3. Click **“Advanced Setup”**

4. Click **"Import Existing Recovery Phrase"**
5. Choose an **unlock password** (can be the same as your old one, or a new one) and then **enter your 12-word recovery phrase**.

That's it. Your Alby Hub is now available again at: **my.albyhub.com**.
