Upgrading Your Plan

As your server grows you may need more RAM or storage. Upgrades take effect immediately with no data loss and no manual migration required.

When to upgrade

Signs your server needs more resources:

• RAM gauge consistently above 85%: visible in the Console tab resource gauges. Sustained high RAM usage causes lag and crashes.
• Server crashing on startup: not enough RAM to load world + plugins/mods
• Lag spikes with more than ~15 players on a 2 GB plan. Time to move to 4 GB.
• Modpacks: most Forge/Fabric modpacks require 4–8 GB minimum
• Disk full errors: world data grows over time, especially on Rust servers

How to upgrade

1. Go to the Shop and log in to your account
2. Navigate to My Services and click on your active server
3. Click Upgrade / Downgrade
4. Select the new plan you want. The price difference is shown before you confirm.
5. Complete the order. Your server is updated immediately.

Your server will restart automatically once the upgrade is applied. The restart takes about 30–60 seconds. All your world data, plugins, mods, and configuration files are preserved.

What changes when you upgrade

Resource	Changes on upgrade?
RAM allocation	✅ Increased immediately
Disk space	✅ Increased immediately
World data & files	✅ Fully preserved
Plugins & mods	✅ Fully preserved
IP address & port	✅ Unchanged. Players reconnect normally.
Panel access & sub-users	✅ Unchanged

Billing & proration

Upgrades are prorated, so you only pay the difference for the remaining days in your billing cycle. If you upgrade halfway through the month, you pay half the price gap for that month, then the full new rate from the next renewal.

The Shop shows the exact prorated charge before you confirm, so there are no surprises.

Downgrading

Downgrading follows the same process. Go to My Services → Upgrade / Downgrade and select a lower plan. A few things to keep in mind:

• Make sure your current disk usage fits within the new plan's storage limit before downgrading
• If your world files are larger than the new plan's disk allocation, the downgrade will be blocked. Free up space first.
• RAM is reduced immediately on the next restart. Consider whether your current plugin/mod setup will run on less RAM.

Need help choosing?

Not sure which plan is right for your setup? Here's a quick reference:

Plan	Best for
Minecraft 2 GB	Small vanilla or lightly-plugged servers, up to ~15 players
Minecraft 4 GB	Medium servers with plugins, up to ~40 players
Minecraft 8 GB	Large servers, heavy plugin stacks, or small modpacks
Rust 8 GB	Rust servers. Rust needs significantly more RAM than Minecraft.
