# Resize a server
Source: https://docs.infraista.com/en/compute/instances/resize-a-server



Resizing moves a server to another plan from the same family. The IP address and data stay.

**Before you start:** disks can grow but never shrink, so plans with a smaller disk than the current
one are unavailable, and after resizing you may not be able to go back.

1. Open the server and go to the **Resize** tab.
2. Under **Choose a new size**, pick a plan. The **Summary** shows what changes (vCPU, memory, disk) and
   the new price.
3. Select **Resize to** *(plan)*.

## What happens [#what-happens]

* **A running server reboots.** Expect about a minute of downtime.
* **A stopped server** gets the new size right away and stays stopped. It applies when you start it.
* On some servers, new CPU and memory apply after the next restart; the disk grows right away. The
  page tells you when that's the case.

You're billed at the new rate from the moment the resize finishes.

## If something goes wrong [#if-something-goes-wrong]

* **A plan is greyed out**: its disk is smaller than the current one.
* **"Wait until the server has finished…"**: the server is starting, stopping or rebooting. Try again
  once it's **Running** or **Stopped**.
* **"Resizing isn't available for this server yet."** Contact support and we'll resize it for you.
