Learn how to upgrade your VPS plan

🚀 How to upgrade your VPS to a higher tier

You can upgrade your VPS plan (e.g. from KVM SMART to KVM STARTER) anytime directly through the VPS Management Portal.

🔄 What is a VPS plan upgrade?

A plan upgrade means moving your VPS to a larger, predefined plan with more resources like:
  • More RAM
  • More vCPU cores
  • More traffic commitment
No need to reinstall or migrate! The upgrade happens in-place.

💶 How is it billed?

You only pay the price difference between the two plans, prorated for the rest of the billing period.
You don’t pay the full price of the new plan. You just pay the upgrade difference (you don’t pay twice).

🛠️ How to order a plan upgrade

  1. Log in to your VPS Management Portal
  2. Find your VPS in the Services tab
  3. Click the “Upgrade” button
  4. Select the higher plan, confirm, and pay the invoice
  5. Within 7 minutes after payment confirmation, we process the upgrade and you’ll receive an email with instructions

⚙️ What happens next?

  • No IP change or reinstall required
  • Traffic upgrade is available immediately
  • RAM and vCPU become active after a cold reboot
  • Disk remains untouched – you choose whether to resize your filesystem

Need more traffic than our plans offer?

If you already use the largest tier, add traffic from your shared Traffic Pool. In the portal, assign +100 GB, +500 GB, +1 TB, or +10 TB manually, or configure Auto-Hydration to assign 100 GB, 200 GB, 300 GB, or 500 GB automatically at 99% usage. Auto-Hydration requires a sufficient Pool balance and does not purchase traffic automatically. One global Traffic Pool price applies across all 50 EDIS locations.
