Need more power for your VPS? Upgrading via configurable options in MyRack (our client area) is a breeze – bump RAM, CPU, storage, or add IPs without starting over. It's self-service, prorated billing, and instant (or quick provision after payment). No downtime for most upgrades!
This guide is for beginners – we'll walk through the steps in MyRack. Takes 5 minutes. (If your plan doesn't have configs, order a new tier or contact our support for custom options.)
Why Upgrade via Configurable Options?
- Flexible scaling: Add resources on-the-fly – no full migration.
- Prorated cost: Pay only for the difference, billed to your next due date.
- No data loss: Upgrades apply to your existing VPS in Nebula Core.
- Self-serve: Do it anytime – no tickets needed for standard options.
Note: Downgrades may have limits (e.g., can't reduce below current use). Check your plan in MyRack for available options.
Step 1: Log In to MyRack
- Go to my.lunarracks.com (or the link in your welcome email).
- Enter your email and password (reset if forgotten via "Forgot Password").
Tip: Bookmark MyRack – it's your hub for billing, services, and upgrades.
Step 2: Navigate to Your VPS Service
- Click Services > My Services
- Find your VPS in the list (e.g., "Mercury - myvps.lunarracks.com").
- Click on the service name or Manage Product open the management page.
Step 3: Select Upgrade Options

- You'll see the current and available configurable options (e.g., RAM: 4GB to 8GB, CPU Cores: 2 to 4, Storage: 50GB to 100GB, Extra IPs).
- Choose your new specs from dropdowns/sliders (prices update live – prorated preview shown).
- Review the options > Click Click to Continue.
Step 4: Checkout & Apply Upgrade

- Pay via your method (card, PayPal, etc.) – instant if no invoice.
- Once paid, the upgrade queues – check status in My Services (usually applies in minutes via Nebula Core).
