Upgrading your SEO hosting plan is handled entirely from the billing portal, and it is the right move whenever you have run out of dedicated IPs, need more disk or bandwidth, or want to move a growing site network onto a larger footprint. The process takes a few minutes to submit, and the new IPs are added by our provisioning team shortly afterwards. This guide walks through each step and explains what happens once your payment clears.
Before you start
An upgrade keeps your existing account, sites and IPs in place and simply adds the extra resources of the higher plan on top. Have two things clear in your mind first: which account or plan you want to upgrade (useful if you run several with us), and roughly how many additional dedicated IPs you expect the new plan to give you. Knowing the target IP count makes it easy to confirm the request went through correctly. If you are still deciding which tier fits, the current line-up is on our SEO web hosting page, and the dedicated Class C options are set out under multiple A class IP hosting.
How to upgrade, step by step
- Log in to the billing portal at https://billing.aseohosting.com.
- Click the Services tab. This opens your My Products and Services page.
- Click the line for the account or plan you would like to upgrade.
- On the left navigation menu you will see an Upgrade/Downgrade link. Click it.
- The other available plans are listed on this page. Pick the plan you want to move up to and click the Choose Product button.
- Proceed through the payment steps and complete the payment.
What happens after you pay
We receive your upgrade request as soon as the payment steps are completed. Our provisioning department then adds the new IPs to your account, and you will receive an e-mail listing the new IPs once they are live. There is nothing further you need to do on your side; your existing sites stay online throughout, and you simply gain the extra IPs and resources to work with.
If a step does not go as expected
If you run into trouble at any point, open a support ticket from the billing portal. When you do, please state clearly how many new IPs you need, along with the account or domain involved, so the team can action it without going back and forth. Being specific here is the single biggest thing that speeds up an upgrade. The dedicated IPs you receive are ordinary public IPv4 addresses assigned from the global address space; you can read how that space is structured at the IANA IPv4 address space registry.
A note on what extra IPs do and do not do
It is worth being honest about why more IPs help. Spreading sites across dedicated Class C IPs does not, on its own, make any single site rank better. Its value is defensive and structural: you avoid sharing an address with unknown, possibly spammy neighbours, and you keep control over the footprint of a network so that sites which should look independent are not trivially linked by a shared IP. Upgrading to gain more dedicated IPs is about that reputation and footprint control, not a magic ranking boost.
