Upgrade VPS Components

Component upgrades extend the resources of your current plan—RAM, vCPU, Drive Boost storage, or IPv4 addresses—without changing tiers or reinstalling the OS.
Upgrades tab with plan and component paths

Use Upgrade Your Plan for a tier change, or Upgrade Now for individual components.

​
What You Can Extend

  • Increase RAM for memory-intensive workloads.
  • Add extra vCPU cores for parallel processing.
  • Apply a Drive Boost to unlock additional disk space.
  • Assign additional IPv4 addresses.
  • Mix and match any combination of the above.
Billing is prorated just like plan upgrades—you pay only the difference for the days remaining in your billing cycle.

​
Order a Component Upgrade via the Control Panel

1

Open the VPS dashboard

Sign in at the EDBB Control Panel, go to Services, and choose the VPS you want to extend.
2

Go to Upgrades → Upgrade Components

Click the Upgrades tab, then click Upgrade Now under Upgrade Components. The comparison page lists each resource you can increase.

Compare Current Configuration with New Configuration for each resource.

3

Select resources & checkout

Choose the additional RAM, vCPU, disk, or IPv4 addresses you need, pay the prorated invoice, and follow the activation instructions after payment clears.
Back up important data and schedule downtime. After payment, follow the activation email and perform a full power cycle to load CPU/RAM changes; a restart inside the operating system is not the same operation.

​
After Payment

  • Upgrades are processed within minutes after payment confirmation.
  • Expect an email summarising the change.
  • RAM & vCPU require a full power cycle from the EDBB panel.
  • IPv4 addresses must be configured manually on the VPS.
  • Drive Boost expands the virtual disk, but you decide when to grow partitions or filesystems.

Need More Traffic

Consider the traffic pool to add traffic for any VPS in your account. Auto hydration can refill traffic automatically near 99% usage.
