Add-ons vs. Plan Upgrade

When to Use Add-ons

  • Need just a bit more of one resource
  • Don't need all resources of a higher plan
  • Want flexibility to adjust

When to Upgrade Instead

  • Need significant increases across multiple resources
  • Higher plan is more cost-effective
  • Want included features of higher plans

Cost Comparison

Sometimes upgrading is cheaper than multiple add-ons:

Example: Need +4 GB RAM and +15 GB storage on Starter

  • Add-ons cost: May be close to Pro plan
  • Pro plan: Gets you the resources plus more backup slots

Compare total costs before deciding. An upgrade might be more economical.

Add-on FAQ

Do add-ons renew automatically?

Yes, add-ons renew with your subscription until you remove them.

Can I add multiple of the same add-on?

Yes, you can stack add-ons (e.g., 2x +4 GB RAM = +8 GB total).

When do add-on resources become available?

Immediately after purchase. Resources are applied right away.

Do I need to restart for add-ons?

  • RAM: Restart may be needed for the server to use new RAM
  • Storage: Available immediately
  • Backup slots: Available immediately

What happens to my data if I remove storage?

Your data remains, but you can't add more files. You'd need to free up space or restore the add-on.
