Resource upgrades

Add-on, billed separately. This feature is not included in the base hosting plan. You can enable and price it from your client portal.

What it does

Section titled “What it does”

Boost your container’s CPU, RAM, or persistent disk without migrating to a new plan. Useful when you’ve outgrown your base allocation but the next plan tier up is more than you actually need.

What you can upgrade

Section titled “What you can upgrade”

Each resource is independent — upgrade only what you need.

  • CPU cores per container — visible on the Sites page as CPU per Container (cores) (default 0.25). Add cores for sustained-compute workloads.
  • RAM per container — visible on the Sites page as Memory per Container (MB) (default 256). For memory-hungry apps (caches, large WordPress sites with many plugins, Node apps holding big in-memory state).
  • Number of containers — scale a busy site horizontally from 1 up to 10 replicas; WHP load-balances traffic across them.
  • Persistent disk — for sites that store a lot of files (media libraries, user uploads, etc.).

When you might need this

Section titled “When you might need this”
  • High CPU on busy days. Sustained-load sites consistently hit the per-container CPU cap during peak hours.
  • “Out of memory” errors in your app log.
  • Disk usage approaching 80% of your allocation. Get ahead of it — full disks cause backup failures and uploads to fail.

How to enable

Section titled “How to enable”

For per-container CPU/RAM upgrades, edit the values directly on the Sites page for the site you want to change, and click Save. For account-wide upgrades (more total RAM, more total disk), open the client portal, go to your hosting service → Upgrade/Downgrade, and pick the resource increment.

Section titled “See your current usage”

Open the Dashboard page in WHP. The Server Information and account stats show what you’re consuming. For per-site usage, open a site from the Sites page.
