Why Downgrades Are Disabled

Shrinking a virtual disk is just as risky as shrinking a physical drive—partitions must be resized perfectly or data can be lost. To avoid accidental corruption, EDBB only allows upgrades.
  • VPS storage is provisioned at the plan’s full size.
  • Lowering disk size mid-flight doesn’t guarantee consistency.
  • Other resources (CPU/RAM) are tied to the plan profile, so rolling back would require reprovisioning anyway.

​
Safe Path to a Smaller Footprint

1

Deploy the new plan

Order the smaller VPS tier alongside your current service.
2

Migrate workloads

Move data using backups, rsync, snapshots, or application-level exports. Test the new instance thoroughly.
3

Retire the original VPS

Once satisfied, cancel the old service. This avoids disk resizing risks and keeps downtime minimal.
Keep routine backups (or qcow2 exports) so you can revert quickly if the smaller plan doesn’t meet expectations.
