This article answers some common questions about Cloud VPS hosting.
When you order a Cloud VPS hosting package, you specify the virtual machine's initial configuration. The following virtual machine configuration options are available:
You can easily modify the virtual machine's configuration later if your requirements change.
All you have to do to add additional virtual machines is place an order. Make sure you select a unique hostname for each virtual machine you add. Billing and invoices for each Cloud VPS virtual machine are processed individually, and you can manage each one independently in the A2 Hosting Customer Portal.
For detailed information about Cloud VPS billing, please see this article.
Unfortunately, if you did not choose the SSD Storage option when you first ordered your virtual machine, you cannot add it to an existing virtual machine later. This is because SSD storage resides on a different storage pool.
If you want to switch a virtual machine to SSD storage, you must first copy any data on the existing virtual machine that you want to keep. Then you can destroy the virtual machine, deploy a new one with the SSD option enabled, and copy your data to the new virtual machine.
