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:

  1. Review the PHP version you are currently using.
  2. Check if that version is obsolete or is still compatible.
  3. Verify if the same version is available in the new plan you wish to switch to.

To access the plan change wizard for your hosting service, follow these steps:

1. Go to the search bar located in the top bar of the SWPanel, enter the name of the hosting service, and select it from the results.

⚠️ Important When performing this step, existing backup retention will be lost.

Therefore, it is recommended:

  • Perform a local backup before changing the plan.
  • Keep in mind that, once the change is completed, a new backup cycle will begin in the new plan.
