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
- Confirm the new size with
lsblk,fdisk -l, or the Windows Disk Management console. - Extend the partition (e.g.,
growpart,parted, or DiskPart). - Grow the filesystem using the appropriate tool (
resize2fs,xfs_growfs, etc.). - 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.
