What this covers
A resize moves your existing VPS to a larger size in place. Your data, operating system, and IP address stay exactly the same — only the CPU, RAM, and disk allocation change. You pay only the prorated difference for the rest of your billing cycle. Disk can grow but not shrink.
Before you start
Log in to the portal and open your VPS service. Pick a quiet moment — a resize needs a short reboot to apply — and make sure any important work is saved.
How to do it
- Open your portal, go to Services, and select your VPS.
- Click 'Resize' and choose the new CPU, RAM, and disk you want. Disk can only increase.
- Review the prorated 'pay the difference' amount for the rest of your cycle. You can pay in XAF, USD, or EUR — it defaults to your billing currency.
- Confirm and pay. The resize applies in place with a short reboot, usually a minute or two.
- Your VPS keeps the same IP address, hostname, data, and OS. Reconnect over SSH after the reboot and check the new resources with commands like `free -h`, `nproc`, and `df -h`.
