What Happens With the Account Content and Settings?
When you upgrade your hosting plan, all your files, emails, databases, and configurations are automatically transferred to the new plan – you won't need to move anything manually!
If upgrading from Web to Cloud hosting, you will also get a new IP address. Therefore, you will need to update the IP address of your hosting plan wherever you may be using it, such as:
Pointing a domain or subdomain via A record
You can find your new dedicated IP address on the Account details page after the upgrade is completed.
NOTES
The upgrade can take a few hours to complete
If you update your domain's DNS records, consider up to 24 hours for the changes to propagate
What Happens With the Payment of the Previous Plan?
When you upgrade to a more robust plan, your investment is kept by converting it to a discount on the upgrade price.
Consider this case as an example: let's say that the remaining time on your current plan is worth $50, and the plan you are upgrading to costs $200. In this case you obtain a $50 discount, so you will only have to pay $150 😊
If you want to test before upgrading, you can temporarily boost your account
