IP addresses, OS, files, databasesUnchanged.

​
Downgrades

Downgrades are not available through the Client Portal. Virtual disks cannot be shrunk without risking data loss. If you need to move to a smaller plan, contact support at console.digitalfyre.com. The typical approach is to provision a new VPS on the smaller plan and migrate your data across.

​
When to Upgrade

Check your Server Statistics and consider upgrading when:
  • CPU or memory usage is consistently above 80%
  • Your application is slowing under normal load
  • You are running low on disk space
  • You are regularly approaching your bandwidth limit

Important Information on Downgrades

Downgrades are not available for self-service. Because virtual disk allocations cannot be reduced without risking data loss, moving to a smaller plan requires provisioning a new VPS and migrating your data. Contact support at console.digitalfyre.com, and we will help you through the process.
