Can I get a trial of a larger plan, or share my files with me on another plan?
On this page
Trials and special arrangements are business decisions rather than self-serve features, so the best path is to ask us directly. There's also a simple, low-risk way to "trial" more power on your own.
Your options for testing more resources
If you want to try a bigger plan, reach out and we'll tell you what's possible for your situation. In the meantime, you can always upgrade (upgrades are pro-rated) and downgrade later if it turns out to be more than you need — a practical way to test more resources without a long commitment.
How to try a larger plan
- If you'd like to test a bigger plan, open a ticket and we'll tell you what's possible.
- To try more resources right away, upgrade your plan with Change plan on your server's Billing page (pro-rated) and downgrade later if it's more than you need.
Tip: Upgrading and then downgrading around a busy event is a common, low-risk way to "trial" more power for a short stretch — you only pay pro-rated for the time you use.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a free trial? That's a policy question rather than a self-serve feature — ask us and we'll let you know what's available.
