Thinking of upgrading VDS

Post by Chernarus »

I'm running out of bandwidth fast so I either A. Need to upgrade plans or B. Need to add more bandwidth... both options cost the same.. but upgrading plan would add additional RAM, and another CPU core to do misc tasks on, but the thing is.. I'm worried that if I choose the next package in line I'd be moved off my current node (chicago-quad34-i-7) which I love for obvious reasons onto a different node.. what should I do :/

You should stay on the same machine, unless there isn't enough resources and then be moved to a different machine. Either way, you will not be moving locations, just different machine in the data center. Same performance, pings, network and equipment. You won't even notice a change, except for the additional core, memory and bandwidth.

We have many machines with cores as fast as yours, Chernarus, including E5-2690-based servers. If you upgrade the cores and the system moves you to a machine that you feel isn't up to par, please open a support request through the control panel "Help!" page and we can see if another is available.

Thats awesome, the current E3-1270 server my server is running on seems to be a fit for the only two tasks I run.. Murmur 50p and DayZ 45p and Im amazed, thus I was worried about loosing this stellar performance I'm currently getting.

Also, how does the upgrade for existing plan work? Do I pay the difference?
