Upgrading your Dedicated Server

Depending on the server’s chassis capacity, you can request an upgrade of your server’s RAM and HDD.

If you are considering a different CPU, we can deploy the new server and run it simultaneously with your existing server so that you can transfer your data. On completion, you can cancel the old server.

Upgrading your Dedicated Server

You can easily request hardware modification from the Leaseweb Customer Portal.

Perform the following steps to request a hardware modification for your server:

Upgrading RAM

1. In the Details page of a Dedicated Server, click on the Hardware Upgrade button next to RAM

2. Select the total amount of RAM you want to have on your server. On the right side, the new monthly fee is displayed.

3. Click on Upgrade Now. It takes you to the Order Request page.

4. Here, the preferred modification date and time can be chosen. You can select “as soon as possible” or a specific date and time. Once you have selected an option, click on “Update modification date”.
   • Important:
     • To perform the upgrade, if your server does not support hotswap, we may have to shut down your server.
     • Please keep in mind that the time you select needs to be at least 3 hours from now. This will give us the time to plan and execute the update.
     • If you select “as soon as possible”, the upgrade will be performed within 24 hours.

5. Lastly, agree to the terms and conditions and click on “Place order”

Compatibility matrix for hardware modification

Before requesting a hardware upgrade, we recommend that you check if the upgrade request is compatible with your server and if downtime is required when performing the upgrade.

Compatibility information in the Customer Portal

For most server models, the number of drive bays is also shown directly in the Customer Portal under Server Details > Technical Details as part of the model itself:

In case this information is different from the table below, the information shown in the Customer Portal is leading.

Note: LFF bays (large form factor) support both 3.5″ and 2,5″ disk form factors. SFF (small form factor) supports 2.5″ only.

The number of memory banks is visible under Hardware Details > Memory Banks.
