Upgrading or Changing Your Hosting Plan

1 min readUpdated 23 Jun 2026

As your website grows, the plan that fit you at launch may start to feel tight. Maybe you are running low on storage, getting more visitors than your current bandwidth allows, or you want to add more websites or databases. A bigger Hostbox plan can give you the room and performance you need.

Signs it might be time to upgrade

  • You are running out of storage space for files, emails, or backups.
  • Your site receives more traffic and needs more bandwidth.
  • You want to host more websites or create additional databases.
  • You would like better overall performance and faster page loads.

How to change your plan

Changing plans with Hostbox is straightforward, and your content is preserved throughout. Nothing is lost in the move.

1
Compare the available plans

Review the current Hostbox plans and find the one that matches your needs for storage, traffic, websites, and databases.

2
Order the new plan or contact support

Place an order for the plan you want, or reach out through /support. Our team will help you move your site, emails, and data across.

3
We handle the migration

Hostbox moves your content to the new plan and confirms everything is in place before you go live.

Not sure which plan fits? Contact support at /support and we will recommend the right option based on how your site is growing.

What happens with billing

Once you switch, the new plan's price applies and your billing is adjusted accordingly. As with all Hostbox services, payment is handled by bank or wire transfer.

Before you upgrade

As good practice, keep a backup of your website and data before any major change. It is a simple safeguard that gives you peace of mind.
