How upgrades, storage and billing work

Self-Service Upgrades

Pick a bigger plan in the control panel, with no support ticket. The server must be powered off during the resize.

Your Data Stays Put

Resizing keeps your disk, files, configuration and IP address. Only the power-off and restart interrupt service.

CPU, RAM & Storage Scaling

Move to plans with more CPU, RAM, disk and transfer, or add extra storage from $5/month for 100 GB.

Hourly Billing

Every plan is billed by the hour and capped at the monthly price, so a server you use for part of a month costs less.

Pay for What You Use

No contracts. Start on a small plan and upgrade when your traffic grows, or create extra servers for a short project and destroy them when it ends.

Traffic Spike Handling

Expecting a launch or a campaign? Upgrade before it starts. The API can resize servers too, so you can build your own automation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about scaling your VPS

How does scaling work?

+

Scaling means moving your server to a larger plan. Power the server off, choose the new plan in the control panel, and start the server again. There is no migration and no support ticket.

Is there downtime when I scale my VPS?

+

Yes, briefly. The server has to be powered off while it is resized, so plan the change for a quiet period. Extra disk space can be added separately from the Storage page.

Can I scale back down after upgrading?

+

No. Moving to a cheaper plan, or to a plan with less disk space, is not supported in the control panel. If you need a smaller server, create a new one on the smaller plan, move your data, and destroy the old server, or contact support.

How does billing work when I scale?

+

Servers are billed by the hour, capped at 672 hours (the monthly price) per month. After an upgrade, hours are billed at the new plan's hourly rate.

What is the largest plan?

+

The largest plan has 24 vCPUs, 96 GB RAM, 1,600 GB of SSD storage and 15 TB of monthly transfer for $640/month. If you need more, contact us.

Can I handle sudden traffic spikes without manual intervention?

+

Not automatically. There is no auto-scaling and there are no resource alerts. Upgrade before an expected spike, or use the API to resize a server from your own scripts.

Do I need to reinstall my OS or applications when scaling?

+

No. Your operating system, applications, files, and configurations are preserved during scaling. The upgrade simply allocates more resources to your existing server. Nothing is lost or changed.

Is hourly billing really pay-as-you-go?

+

Yes. Each server is billed by the hour at its plan's hourly rate, capped at the monthly price. For a short spike you can also create an extra server for a few hours and destroy it afterwards.

Can I scale individual resources independently?

+

Scaling is done by switching between plans that bundle CPU, RAM, storage, and bandwidth. This ensures optimal performance ratios. If you need a custom resource mix, contact our team for a tailored plan.

How does scaling affect my IP address and DNS?

+

Your IP address stays the same when you upgrade, so no DNS changes are needed. Your domains, SSL certificates and network configuration stay as they are.

What happens to my data during a scaling operation?

+

Resizing keeps your disk and data. We still recommend taking a snapshot before an upgrade as a precaution.

Can I automate scaling with the API?

+

Yes. The REST API can resize a server to a larger plan, so you can script upgrades from your own monitoring. There is no built-in auto-scaling.
