How do I upgrade my Cloud server?

Note: At the moment it is not possible to upgrade your Cloud server yourself. Since September 2022, we have said goodbye to Cloud servers on the old Totaalcloud platform (OnApp). We migrated everything to our renewed CloudStack platform during 2022, which is more future-proof and faster. Our knowledge base will receive new articles for this as soon as the interface of the new platform has been broadly developed, it is currently still subject to changes. The article below is therefore no longer applicable for upgrades to Cloud servers. Therefore, please contact our support for the technical implementation of the upgrade.

If you have a cloud hosting server with Neostrada you have the option to expand it with more CPU, RAM and storage (your disk volume). In this article we explain how you can request an upgrade and how you can apply it to your server. A downgrade can be applied in the same way.

Important

Your volume of storage, CPU and RAM can only be increased, not decreased. This is due to technical limitations, once expanded the server cannot be downgraded. You can find the different levels of Cloud servers on our cloud page: www.neostrada.com/cloud-servers-vps-hosting.html
