How to Upgrade Your Xcitium Backup Storage Plan

Upgrade your Xcitium Backup plan at any time to increase storage capacity and ensure your backups continue running without interruption. This article explains how to review your available plans and upgrade your storage from your Bluehost account.

Why Upgrade Your Storage Plan?

When your Xcitium Backup storage reaches 100% of its allocated capacity:

• Automatic backups stop running.
• New changes to your websites are not backed up.
• Recent website changes may not be recoverable if an issue occurs.
• Backup protection will resume once additional storage is available.

To avoid interruptions, we recommend upgrading before you reach your storage limit.

How to Upgrade Your Storage Plan

   Within the Xcitium dashboard, you'll see your:

   • Current storage usage

What Happens After Upgrading?

After a successful upgrade:

• Additional storage becomes available.
• Scheduled backups can resume automatically.
• Your existing backup settings remain unchanged.
• No website changes are required.

If your backups had stopped because your account reached 100% capacity, backup protection will resume once the upgrade is applied.

Already on the Highest Plan?

If you're currently using Xcitium Pro+ (25 GB), there may not be a higher self-service upgrade option available.

To free storage space:

• Remove backups you no longer need.
• Delete outdated website backups.
• Remove unused files or media where applicable.
