When you upgrade your hosting plan, all your files, emails, databases, and settings move automatically to the new plan. You don't have to do anything manually!
If you're switching from Shared to VPS hosting, you'll also get dedicated resources and a new IP address. You'll need to update this new IP address in a few places:
- FTP connections
- Remote database connections
- When pointing a domain or subdomain via an A record
After the upgrade is done, you can find your new dedicated IP address on the Account details page.
Things to Keep in Mind:
- The upgrade might take a few hours to finish.
- If you make changes to your domain's DNS records, it might take up to 24 hours for the changes to spread.
What Happens to Your Previous Plan Payment?
When you upgrade to a more powerful plan, the money you've already spent gets converted into a discount on the upgrade price.
