Your choice of VPS depends on the size of your website and the flexibility it needs to run smoothly. You may start with a VPS if you’re running a site that too much of a load for a shared hosting, or later move to a VPS if you’re outgrowing your shared web hosting or just want more control, it’s technically advisable. A managed or fully managed Virtual Private Server (VPS) has more power and flexibility. You will have more freedom with root access to Apache and PHP, tune your performance, security, SSL Certificate and many other software or web applications according to the needs of your website.

It depends on your site, VPS plan and settings. It’s also to be noted that the higher is your VPS plan or service, the more power it has. Usually, the entry level VPS nodes are aimed for customers looking for more flexibility and will possibly not result in a performance improvement. However, the higher end VPS nodes have the potential to provide both flexibility and performance improvements.

Once you select a plan, the upgrade happens automatically within minutes. You can easily upgrade your VPS from your accounts’ dashboard or control panel by following the prompts or asking for the assistance of our support team. Your entire system, OS, software and settings are saved and moved/upgraded to the next plan or package; you don’t have to make any changes. Note that even though you can upgrade your plan, you might not be able to downgrade the plan without not causing problems to your system.
