Updating the VPS Server Pricing Plan

The feature to update a VPS server to a more powerful configuration within the same product line allows you to increase computational resources (processor, RAM, disk space) without needing to migrate data or reinstall the operating system.

Updating a VPS server may be necessary in the following cases:

  • Increased load on your project or service;
  • Need for additional disk space;
  • Requirement for more RAM;
  • Need to increase computing power for more efficient application performance.

Available Product Lines

Note

Updating a VPS is possible only within the same product line. For example, if you use a server of type vm.nano (Economy line), you can update it to vm.mini or vm.medium but cannot switch to vm.v2-nano (Performance line) without creating a new server.

Below are all available product lines with possible upgrade paths within each.
