You can scale your VPS up (or down) at any time from the client area, without needing to reinstall.
Before you resize
- Take a snapshot or backup if one isn't already scheduled — resizing is safe, but it's good practice before any change to a production server.
- Downgrading storage isn't supported if your current usage exceeds the new plan's limit; free up space first.
Steps
- Go to Services → your VPS → Upgrade/Downgrade.
- Choose the new plan.
- Confirm the change — most resizes apply a short reboot (typically under a minute).
- Once back online, verify the new resources with
free -handdf -h.
Billing
Upgrades are prorated for the remainder of your billing cycle; downgrades take effect on your next renewal.
