    How can I utilize new disk space for my VPS?

    If you purchased a disk space upgrade, or upgraded your VPS to a larger package, you have the following options to use this additional disk space.

    • The easiest way to install the disk space is to re-install your VPS. You will then automatically use the extra disk space, but will lose the current data on your VPS.
    • You can either add partitions or grow existing partitions. The methods to create a partition are not the same for every operating system and are listed below for different OS's:
      CentOS
      Ubuntu/Debian/Gentoo Linux
      OpenBSD
      FreeBSD
      Windows Server
    • If you are using a Linux based OS in combination with LVM, you have the option to 'grow' your partition. You can find a guide for growing a partition via LVM here. Web control panel installations such as Plesk, cPanel or DirectAdmin come with LVM by default.
    • If you are not using LVM or want to use a GUI, you can use GParted to increase a partition.
    • When using Windows Server you can also 'grow' partition to a larger size. You can find a step-by-step guide on the following link.
