This article deals with upgrading the VPS SSD service. You can find the instructions for VPS ON in the article VPS ON – Upgrade.

• How VPS SSD upgrades work
• How to perform the upgrade
• Common issues
• Frequently asked questions

VPS SSD parameters are modular. Upgrades are restricted to the following configuration options:

• 15 GB HDD, 2 GB RAM, 1 proc. 
• 30 GB HDD, 4 GB RAM, 1 proc. 
• 60 GB HDD, 8 GB RAM, 2 proc. 
• 120 GB HDD, 16 GB RAM, 4 proc. 
• 180 GB HDD, 24 GB RAM, 6 proc.
• 240 GB HDD, 32 GB RAM, 8 proc.

You can only upgrade VPS SSD parameters, the system does not support downgrades. The upgrade process is therefore irreversible for the VPS.

Performing an upgrade will delete all existing snapshots.

Before performing an upgrade, take the following precautions:

• Reserve downtime. The length of downtime depends on the amount of data you have stored on the VPS disk. The approximate time estimate is 10 GB of occupied space ~ 3 minutes of upgrade.
• Expect to restart the server. Make sure that all services on the server start up properly after restart.
• Back up your server. The upgrade itself shouldn’t result in data loss, but there have been reports of damage due to unprofessional interventions during or following the upgrade.

Before performing the upgrade, shut down the operating system and the server. If you don’t, the system will shut the server down forcefully forcefully.

Then follow thses steps:

1. Log into the customer administration panel.
2. In the navigation bar, select Server Hosting VPS SSD.
3. Choose the service you want to upgrade
4. In the left menu, select Upgrade Configuration.
5. Choose the Target configuration and click the Upgrade button.

Wait for the upgrade to complete, the process usually takes no more than 30 minutes. Subsequently, the VPS will automatically turn on.

Complete the upgrade by turning the server off and on again in the customer administration panel. A normal restart or a hard reset is not enough.

After restarting, check if the partitions and filesystem have been upgraded as well. If necessary, perform a manual upgrade according to your operating system’s manual.

After the upgrade is completed, the system automatically deducts the additional payment from the credit account. If you do not have sufficient credit, instead, it will issue an invoice with a maturity of 7 days within 1 working working day to cover the price difference until the end of the current prepaid period.

Common VPS SSD upgrade issues include:

• Server failed to upgrade
• Filesystem didn’t upgrade

Issue: After the system starts up after the upgrade, it still operates using the original configuration.

Solution: Turn the server off and on again in the customer administration panel. Any other type of reboot is insufficient.

Issue: The file system still has its original size after the increase and hard reset.

Cause: The system automatically upgrades only filesystems on pre-installed operating systems (after January 2013).

Solution: If you’re using your own OS, perform a manual filesystem upgrade according to your operating system’s manual.

Question: Can you perform the upgrade in the operating system for me?
Odpověď: No, we do not interfere with operating systems on VPS SSDs.
