How to Upgrade Your Game Server

Running out of RAM or CPU? You can upgrade your game server to a bigger plan straight from the billing dashboard, and in most cases the upgrade is applied within minutes.

1Open Your Server in the Dashboard

• Log in to the VibeGAMES dashboard.
• Under Game servers, click the server you want to upgrade.

2Open the Upgrades Tab

• Select the Upgrades tab on the server page.
• You see a card for every plan, showing the CPU cores, RAM, Storage and monthly price. Your active plan is marked Current plan, and smaller plans are greyed out with Downgrade not available.
• Each upgradeable card shows two amounts: the regular monthly price, and the Upgrade cost, which is what you pay right now to switch.
• The line at the bottom of a card tells you the delivery time: ~2 min delivery for automatic upgrades, or On request with a delivery time of about 24 hours when our team needs to move your server by hand.

3Confirm the Upgrade

• Press Upgrade on the plan you want.
• A dialog titled Upgrade to your chosen plan summarizes the specs and the Upgrade cost. Press Confirm upgrade.

4Pay the Invoice

• For automatic upgrades an invoice is generated and you are redirected to it. As soon as it is paid, the upgrade is applied to your server, usually within a couple of minutes.
• For on-request upgrades, an upgrade request is created for our team. You can follow its status at the top of the Upgrades tab, and cancel it with Cancel request as long as the invoice has not been paid.

Good to Know

• Downgrades are not available; you can only move to a bigger plan.
• If your service is due for renewal soon or overdue, renew it first: the dashboard will tell you and block upgrades until then.
• While an upgrade is being processed you cannot start another one.

Finished
