Change your server's CPU package yourself in the Client Area: pick the new CPU option under Upgrade/Downgrade Options, pay any difference and restart the server to apply it.
A stronger CPU package helps when your server lags at busy times or runs heavy mods. If you need less power, downgrade the same way.
How to upgrade or downgrade your CPU package
- Log in to your Client Area.
- Go to Services › My Services in the top menu bar.
- Click the service you want to upgrade or downgrade in the list.
- Press Upgrade/Downgrade Options in the menu on the left.
- Change the CPU field to the new configuration you want and press the Click to Continue button.
- Restart your server (see the note below).
Upgrading the CPU? An invoice with the price difference is generated. Once it's paid, just restart your server to apply the new CPU.
Change more than the CPU
The same Upgrade/Downgrade Options page also changes your player slots, RAM, hardware package and server location:
- How to upgrade or downgrade your player slots
- How to upgrade or downgrade your RAM
- How to upgrade or downgrade your hardware package
A hardware package change or a location move can put your server on another machine, so your IP and port may change. Check CONNECTION INFO in the game panel afterwards.
CPU package questions
How do I change my server's CPU package?
In the Client Area open Services › My Services, click your server, press Upgrade/Downgrade Options, pick the new CPU option and press Click to Continue. Pay the invoice for the difference, then restart the server.
Do I need a bigger CPU package?
Open Activity and Stats in the game panel while your server is busy. CPU use close to the top at peak times means an upgrade will help. Not sure? Open a ticket and our team will take a look.
I paid but nothing changed. What now?
Restart the server: the new CPU package only applies on a fresh start. If it still looks the same, open a ticket and we'll check it.
