Overview
You can change your Managed VPS plan type or billing plan from the Manage Account page in the DreamHost panel. When you switch plans, a prorated credit for the remaining time on your old plan is applied to the new charge.
Prerequisites
The following instructions assume you have already purchased a Managed VPS plan and wish to change hosting or billing details to a different plan.
How do I change my plan type?
To change your Managed VPS plan type:
Make sure you review your current total plan usage before changing plans. When downgrading, the new plan must have enough available storage to migrate your existing data. If the selected plan does not meet your current storage usage, the downgrade option will be unavailable.
- Navigate to the Manage Account page.
- Scroll to the Active Plans section to locate your Managed VPS account.
- Click the Manage button to open the account page, which allows you to adjust the plan settings for your site.
- Scroll down to the Change Plan section and click Select Plan within the plan you wish to change to.
- Click Submit Order to confirm your selection.
How do I change my billing plan?
To change your VPS billing plan:
- Navigate to the Manage Account page.
- Scroll to the Active Plans section to locate your Managed VPS account.
- Click the Manage button to open the account page, which allows you to adjust the plan settings for your site.
- Select a Monthly, Yearly, or 3 Year option, then click Select Plan.
- Click Submit Order to confirm your selection.
How am I billed when changing plans?
When you change a Managed VPS plan, the new plan is added to your account, and then a prorated credit is issued for the remaining time on the old plan. This credit will apply to the new charge, and you will be responsible for paying the difference.
