# Upgrade your VPS

If your server needs more power, switch to a bigger plan in the [client area](https://login.inleed.net). You order more disk from support.

## Before you start

- The server is shut down while it is upgraded, so websites and services on it are down for a while.

## How to upgrade

### A. More CPU and RAM

1. Log in to the [client area](https://login.inleed.net), open the upgrades page and click **Show upgrades** next to your VPS.

2. Choose the new plan and follow the steps.

### B. More disk

1. Email [support](mailto:support@inleed.se) and say how much more disk you need.

   The disk is extended in steps of 100 GB for a monthly fee.

2. Wait while the server restarts.

   It’s down for about 15 minutes.

3. Extend the partition in the operating system, or with a gparted ISO.

   Without Server maintenance, you do this yourself.

## How to know it worked

The server has more resources.

## If something doesn’t work

### I can’t see the new disk space

**Why:** The disk is bigger, but the partition in the operating system hasn’t been extended.

**What to do:** Extend the partition in the operating system or with a gparted ISO.

## Good to know

- A VPS can’t be downgraded, and an extended disk can’t be shrunk again.
