When switching from Shared, Reseller, or Dedicated hosting...
You can switch by purchasing the new VPS hosting plan, transferring your files, changing DNS, waiting 48 hours for propagation, and finally canceling the old plan.
When switching from a different level of VPS...
We have online forms for requesting to upgrade or downgrade between different VPS levels.
Please contact sales@hostgator.com to modify settings but stay on the same Level. If you are adding cPanel to your VPS, we leave the old container active so you can transfer files to the new container. You must cancel the old container when you are finished with the transfer process.
