Upgrade Your Server Plan

Is your server growing and you need more performance or player capacity? You can upgrade your server plan at any time to accommodate your expanding community. All upgrades are seamless with no data loss and immediate resource improvements.

​
Upgrading plan

Upgrading your server plan is self-serve and super easy to do. All your files stay intact and are saved when upgrading. Your existing server is upgraded as-is.

​
1. Go to Billing

Log in to your BerryByte billing account and select the service you want to upgrade. Then, on the left you’ll find Upgrade/Downgrade (for RAM-based servers) or Upgrade/Downgrade Options (player slot-based servers).

​
2. Choose your new plan

You’ll see options to select a new plan. Choose the plan that fits your needs based on resources like CPU, RAM, and/or player slots. After selecting a new plan, check out. Price changes and adjustments are done automatically— you’re only billed the difference minus the number of days your cycle has been used (prorata).

​
3. Restart your server

Once upgraded, restart your server from the dashboard to apply the new resources. Your upgraded plan should now be active!
