Why Choose Drive Boost

Drive Boost adds persistent storage to an existing VPS without switching plans or reinstalling the OS. Each boost is billed monthly alongside your VPS subscription and remains active until you downgrade or cancel it.
  • Stackable increments: +10 GB, +25 GB, +50 GB, or +100 GB
  • Starts at €3.60/month for the +10 GB tier
  • Combines cleanly with plan upgrades if you later need more CPU or RAM
Need several hundred gigabytes? Order more than one Drive Boost—each block is applied to the same virtual disk so you still manage a single volume in the OS.

Order the Boost Through the Portal

1

Open the service

Sign in to the EDBB VPS Portal, head to Services, and select the VPS that needs extra space.
2

Go to Upgrade → Upgrade Components

Use the Upgrade tab and click the blue Upgrade Components button. The comparison screen lists every add-on available for that VPS, including Drive Boost storage.
3

Pick the disk increment and confirm payment

Choose the Drive Boost size, continue to checkout, and complete the payment. As soon as the invoice clears, the new virtual disk size is attached to the VPS.
Prefer personalised help or need a bespoke size? Message Support via the portal messenger or email support@edbb.com with the VPS hostname or IP and the total storage you’d like to add.

Finish the Expansion Inside Your OS

  1. Confirm the new size with lsblk, fdisk -l, or the Windows Disk Management console.
  2. Extend the partition (e.g., growpart, parted, or DiskPart).
  3. Grow the filesystem using the appropriate tool (resize2fs, xfs_growfs, etc.).
  4. Validate that the mount point now shows the expanded capacity.
EDBB never edits guest partitions for you. Drive Boost enlarges the virtual disk only—the OS keeps its original partition layout until you extend it manually. Back up critical data, grow partitions with your preferred tools, and reboot if the kernel still reports the old size.
Need to extend other resources at the same time? Combine Drive Boost with RAM, vCPU, or IPv4 upgrades in the same workflow. See all component upgrades
