Scaling Up A Server

Cloud Servers can be upgraded and scaled up at any time if you need more server resources. To modify an existing server, click on Overview > Tools > Edit Virtual Server and adjust the server resources as needed.

On this page, you can select a new plan and click Save.

Once the new plan is saved, you can go to the Disks menu and re-size or create a new disk to be mounted to the server.

Note: Once you have utilized any new storage on the server, it is not possible to scale down to a smaller plan. However, if you change the plan and don’t modify the storage settings, you can move down to a smaller plan.

Destroying A Server

To delete a server, click Overview > Tools > Delete Server.
