How to Upgrade Your Cloud VPS

Introduction

Over time, your Cloud VPS may require additional resources to ensure optimal performance as workloads grow. With SeFlow, you can easily perform a resource upgrade on your Cloud VPS quickly and with minimal downtime.

Available upgrade options include:

• vCPU
• RAM
• Disk space

Types of Upgrades Available

Increasing vCPU

Increasing the number of vCPUs improves processing power and is especially useful for:

• multi-threaded applications;
• services requiring heavy computation;
• web servers with high concurrent traffic.

Increasing RAM

More RAM is essential for memory-intensive applications such as:

• databases;
• CMS platforms with demanding plugins;
• enterprise applications.

Increasing Disk Space

Upgrading disk space allows you to:

• store more data;
• install additional applications;
• handle growing system logs and files.
