When Should You Upgrade Your Web Hosting?

Upgrade hosting when the current environment is a demonstrated constraint or when you need capabilities the existing plan cannot provide.

Signals worth investigating

• Repeated resource limit problems
• A need for root access or custom server software
• Workloads that exceed the plan's intended use
• A growing requirement for more predictable resources

Rule out site problems first

Poor performance can come from application code, database queries, images, plugins, or third party scripts. Diagnose the bottleneck before paying for a larger server.
