Upgrading or Downgrading Servers

Same Hosting Type - No Server Change Required

No server change is required when you upgrade hosting plans of the same type, as indicated in the table below.

Account Type Switch between Plans Server Change?
Shared
  • Hatchling
  • Baby
  • Business
VPS
  • Snappy 2000 - NVMe 4
  • Snappy 4000 - NVMe 8
  • Snappy 8000 - NVMe 16
Dedicated
  • Value - NVMe 32
  • Power - NVMe 64
  • Enterprise - NVMe 128

For cases listed above:

  • Name servers and IP addresses will NOT need to change.
  • SSL and other custom software will NOT need to be reinstalled.
  • Site content will NOT need to be transferred.

Of course, if you order a dedicated IP or a new SSL separately, they will be changed and/or installed per your request.


New Hosting Type - Server Change Required

Any time you switch types of hosting, a server change will be required. For example:

  • If switching between Shared and VPS plans, there is a server change.
  • If switching to or away from any Dedicated hosting plan, there is a server change.

This means the name servers and IP address will change; SSL and other custom software will need to be reinstalled, and you will need to transfer your site content. These changes cannot be circumvented.
