Choose the purchase duration as your preference.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
In packages, the storage size and monthly bandwidth (data plan) is pre determined. But you can click on "Yes" to buy data plan automatically when your "package included" data plan runs out.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
In packages, you will get four predefined purchase duration. And once your instance reaches the deadline it will automatically be closed and deleted. But you can select "Yes" for automatic renewal to stop that. We will send you rapid emails before we close any of your instance.
{% endhint %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.littlepig.cloud/documentations/instance-management/lightsail-vps.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
