What Happens With the Account Content and Settings?
When you upgrade your hosting plan, all your files, emails, databases, and configurations are automatically transferred to the new plan – you won’t need to move anything manually!
If upgrading from Web to Cloud hosting, you will also get a new IP address. Therefore, you will need to update the IP address of your hosting plan wherever you may be using it, such as:
-
Pointing a domain or subdomain via A record
You can find your new dedicated IP address on the Account details page after the upgrade is completed.
NOTES
-
The upgrade can take a few hours to complete
-
If you update your domain’s DNS records, consider up to 24 hours for the changes to propagate
What Happens With the Payment of the Previous Plan?
When you upgrade to a more robust plan, your investment is kept by converting it to a discount on the upgrade price.
Consider this case as an example: let’s say that the remaining time on your current plan is worth $50, and the plan you are upgrading to costs $200. In this case you obtain a $50 discount, so you will only have to pay $150 😊
If you want to test before upgrading, you can temporarily boost your account
