How can I upgrade my hosting plan?

If you are running low on certain resources in your account, you can explore the options for upgrading.

You have two basic options – to upgrade just certain features of your plan (such as disk space, the number of hosted domains, email accounts, etc.) or upgrade to a more advanced package (if one is available).

You can find both options in the My Plan area on the left side of your Control Panel.

* If you do not see the Add or Upgrade Services menu at all, please go to Help -> My Tickets to open a ticket (or use the button below) and request assistance from our support staff.

The Change/Upgrade Plan option allows you to upgrade to a more resource-rich package. All available packages are displayed together with a list of the features they are offering and their price.

Once you choose the package that you want to upgrade to, you have to select it, then choose the payment method you would like to use and then click on the Continue button to proceed to the payment page where you will have to fill out your payment information. If none of the payment options listed is suitable for you, please refer to this article: Alternative payment options

The Add or Upgrade Services link will take you to a page where you can upgrade certain features of your current package. Here is a list of all available upgrades:

  • Hosted Domains – this upgrade allows you to host more domain names in your account
