Upgrade to a Higher VPS Plan
This doc explains how to upgrade a VPS to a higher plan, which can include more RAM, additional vCPU cores, more disk space, and increased monthly traffic commitment.
🚀 Upgrade to a Higher VPS Plan
You can upgrade your VPS plan (e.g. from KVM SMART to KVM STARTER) anytime directly through the 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 — just the upgrade difference (you don’t pay twice)
🛠️ How to order a Plan Upgrade
- Log in to your KVM Management Portal
- Find your VPS in the Services tab
- Click the “Upgrade” button
- Select the higher plan, confirm, and pay the invoice
- Within 7 minutes after payment confirmation, the upgrade is processed 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 are already on the largest tier, and you’re running out of available traffic, you can purchase traffic. EDIS Global offers the possibility to maintain a traffic pool. A traffic pool allows you to manually assign traffic to your VPS, or enable auto-hydration and automatic refill at 99% usage levels.
