Scaling your server resources up or down is self-service and takes effect immediately — no support ticket needed.
How to upgrade
- Log in to your FMPHost account dashboard
- Click Upgrade Resources next to your server
- Select the new disk size or memory allocation
- Review the prorated cost and confirm
Your server will restart briefly — typically under 2 minutes — to apply the change. Your databases and data are not affected.
Downgrades work the same way
The same button handles downgrades. Select a smaller tier, review the adjusted cost, and confirm.
Things to know
- Disk and memory scale independently — you can add disk without changing memory, and vice versa
- Charges are prorated — if you upgrade mid-month, you are billed only for the remainder of the billing period at the new rate
- No data migration required — the upgrade happens in place on your existing server
Not sure what you need? Check your current usage graphs in the dashboard. If memory is consistently above 80% or disk is above 85%, it is time to consider an upgrade. If you are consistently well under your allocated resources, a smaller plan may save you money. Call us at (888) 520-8291 if you would like a recommendation.
