A plan upgrade adds the resources included in a larger plan while retaining your existing installation and IP address. If you only need individual components, see Upgrade resources.

​
Open the plan upgrade

Select your VPS under Services → My Services in the EDBB Control Panel. Click Upgrade Plan in the service card, or open Upgrades and choose Upgrade Your Plan.
Upgrades tab with Upgrade Your Plan and Upgrade Components sections

Choose Upgrade Your Plan for a higher tier, or Upgrade Components for individual resources.

​
Choose a plan and billing cycle

Review the available plans under New Configuration. Compare their CPU, RAM, storage and traffic. Select a Billing cycle, then click Choose Product to see the quote.

An example available upgrade. Plans, billing cycles and prices depend on your service.

​
Review the prorated quote

The review page identifies the current and new plan and shows Subtotal, applicable tax and Total Due Today. The panel explains the remaining billing period used for the calculation: unused time on the current plan is credited against the new plan for the same period.

Example quote from a test service. Use the amount displayed for your own order.

Choose your payment method, continue and complete payment. Follow the activation instructions in the upgrade email.
Back up important data and schedule downtime. Perform a full Power Cycle VPS from the panel when instructed to activate CPU or RAM changes. A restart inside the operating system is not the same operation.

​
Verify the new resources

  • IP address and installation: a plan upgrade does not require a reinstall.
  • RAM and vCPU: check the allocation after the required power cycle.
  • Disk: a larger virtual disk does not automatically enlarge every partition or filesystem. Follow Linux disk expansion or Windows disk expansion.
  • Traffic: check the new allowance in the panel.
See Restart and power cycle for the panel controls, or Traffic Pool if you only need more data transfer.
