5.8. VPS plan change

Downgrading plan or switching to another plan line is not possible

The plan can only be upgraded and only within the current plan line. Downgrading the plan is impossible, because it implies a reduction of resources, including disk space, which can lead to damage to the integrity of the file system and as a consequence — the breakdown of the file system partition, where this VPS is located. If you need to downgrade to a cheaper plan, the only option is to order a new VPS, transfer all the necessary data and settings from the old server to the new one, and then contact us to cancel the old VPS and refund the remaining period of its operation.

Important points:

  • It is impossible to increase any single parameter of the server (for example, disk space) without changing the plan.
  • Changing the plan requires rebooting the server. It is recommended to manually reboot the server beforehand and make sure that all services on the server start and work as they should without any manual actions.
  • When changing the plan, the server data and settings are not affected and the IP address is not changed.
  • The increase in available disk space when changing the plan depends on the OS used on the server:
    • If the OS was installed automatically from our image — no manual actions are required, the main disk partition will be incremented at the first server reboot.
    • If the OS was installed manually or is outdated — the additional disk space will appear as an unallocated area and will need to be merged with the main one or partitioned using built-in OS tools.
  • The new plan is applied immediately after rebooting.
  • After changing the plan, it is not recommended to restore the backup that was created on the old plan.
