How to Upgrade VPS Hosting Plan
Effortlessly Scale Your Website: Upgrading Your VPS Hosting Plan with Bluehost
Bluehost VPS hosting offers a powerful and scalable solution for growing websites. As your website traffic and complexity increase, you may find your current plan limitations. Upgrading your VPS plan with Bluehost is a simple process that ensures your website has the resources it needs to thrive. This guide will walk you through the steps for selecting the right upgrade plan, initiating the upgrade within your Bluehost dashboard, and ensuring a smooth transition.
- Login to your Bluehost Account Manager.
- Click the Hosting tab on the left side of your Account Manager dashboard.
- On the Overview section, click the Upgrade Plan link.
- Choose the plan you want to upgrade.
- Click the plan you want to upgrade your current plan to.
- Click the UPGRADE NOW button.
Note:
- All new VPS accounts will be set up as Compute accounts. Unlike Legacy accounts, newer VPS Compute accounts will not allow the upgrade of individual resources. Instead, these customers can upgrade to a preset package that suits their needs best.
- Click the Additional Terms link before clicking the UPGRADE NOW button.
- If you are a Legacy shared hosting customer, you can upgrade to VPS or Dedicated Hosting through your cPanel at any time;
- If you are a Rock and Reseller customer, you will not be able to upgrade to VPS or Dedicated.
- It is not possible to downgrade a VPS account back to shared hosting, nor is it possible to upgrade or downgrade from one type of VPS or Dedicated account to another. You will need to cancel your old accounts after signing up for a new one. The option to upgrade to Dedicated hosting or a different VPS plan will be available soon, as will the ability to downgrade plans (even back to shared).
