Granular Resource Scaling

Beyond just upgrading your entire hosting plan, FREAKHOSTING allows you to modify specific Configurable Options for your active services. This is ideal if you need more of a specific resource (like a Dedicated IP or extra storage) without moving to a higher, more expensive service tier.

Modifying Specific Options

1

Locate Your Service

Navigate to Services -> My Services and click on the target server.
2

Open Actions Menu

In the left-hand Actions sidebar, click on Upgrade/Downgrade Options.
3

Adjust Parameters

A list of available modifications will appear. Common options include:
  • Dedicated IP Address: Add or remove an IP.
  • Operating System: (For VPS) Reinstall with a different OS.
  • Location: Change the physical datacenter hosting your service.
4

Process Payment

Review the prorated cost for the new options and complete the checkout.

​
Key Differences

Upgrade refers to changing your entire package (e.g. from 4GB RAM to 8GB RAM). Upgrade Options refers to modifying a single part of your existing package (e.g. adding a Dedicated IP to your current 4GB RAM plan).
Just like plan upgrades, configurable options are calculated on a prorated basis. You only pay for the new resource for the remainder of your current billing cycle.

​
Reinstallation Requirements

Changing some options, such as the Operating System for a VPS, will require a complete server reinstallation. Ensure you backup your data before confirming these specific changes.
