How To Change Server Resources

Introduction

This guide covers how to change your server’s resources. The process differs depending on whether your server is on the new billing system or a legacy premium plan.

Changing resources requires a server restart to take effect. Your server may experience brief downtime during the restart.

Changing Resources

  • If you purchased your server through the Billing Dashboard, follow these steps.

    Steps

    1. Log in to the Dashboard.
    2. Navigate to your server and go to Settings.
    3. Select the Operations tab.
    4. Click the Change Plan button.
    5. A modal will appear with two ways to select your new resources:

    Preset Plans

    Plan RAM CPU
    Starter 4 GB 2 cores
    Friends 6 GB 3 cores
    Community 8 GB 4 cores
    Network 12 GB 5 cores

    Custom Configuration

    Use the sliders to set your own values:

    • RAM: 512 MB to 32 GB (in 512 MB increments)
    • CPU: 1 to 8 cores

    Pricing

    The modal shows a real-time pricing breakdown as you adjust resources, including:

    • Your current plan cost
    • The new plan cost
    • Pro-rata charges or credits for the remaining billing period
    • VAT (if applicable)

    Upgrades: You will be charged the pro-rata difference for the remaining billing period. If you have account credits, they will be applied automatically. Otherwise, payment will be processed through your payment method (Revolut, Stripe, or PayPal).

    Downgrades: A credit for the price difference will be applied to your account automatically.

    1. Click Pay & Apply Upgrade (for upgrades) or Apply Downgrade (for downgrades).
    2. Restart your server for the changes to take effect.

  • This section is for Premium customers managing servers purchased through the legacy billing system.

    Steps

    1. Log in to the Dashboard.
    2. Navigate to your server and go to Settings.
    3. Select the Operations tab.
    4. Click the Change Resources button.
    5. A modal will appear with the following fields:
    Resource Details
    CPU Enter desired allocation. 1 = 100% of one core. Minimum: 0.25
    Memory Enter desired memory in MB. Minimum: 128 MB. Example: 2048 for 2 GB
    Disk Premium plans include unmetered disk space
    1. Click Save Changes.
    2. Restart your server for the changes to take effect.

    Resource changes are limited by your plan. You cannot allocate more CPU or RAM than your plan allows.

Troubleshooting

Issue Solution
Server won’t start Verify you’ve allocated sufficient CPU and memory for your server software
Resources not showing Try refreshing the page or logging out and back in
Changes not applied Ensure you restarted your server after making changes

If your server fails to start after changing resources, make sure you’ve allocated enough CPU and memory for your server software to run properly.
