If your current Cloud Web Hosting configuration cannot meet the growing demands of your website, such as increased traffic or data storage needs, upgrade your host. An upgrade can increase your data storage and improve website access speed. Host upgrades are limited by factors such as the operating system, data center, and purchase date. You can upgrade only to specific hosts with higher configurations. This topic describes the upgrade paths for Cloud Web Hosting and Simple Application Server.
