How to change or redefine a Hosting Plan?
The Hosting plan change option allows you to modify your current plan for another one currently available.
With this option, you can:
- Update an old plan to one of the currently available plans.
- Upgrade your current plan by changing it to a superior one with more resources or features.
This change allows you to adapt your hosting service to the current needs of your website quickly and easily.
⚠️ Important When changing the hosting plan, the available PHP versions may vary.
Before performing the change, we recommend:
- Review the PHP version you are currently using.
- Check if that version is obsolete or is still compatible.
- Verify if the same version is available in the new plan you wish to switch to.
