More power. Same price. We have upgraded virtual CPU (vCPU) on Linux VPS plans Small through XXLarge — at no change to your monthly bill. RAM, SSD storage, and bandwidth stay exactly as they are.
This is a complimentary performance boost for every affected VPS on our platform. New orders already receive the higher core counts; existing servers have been updated on the hypervisor and are ready for you to activate with a full power cycle from the client area.
Upgrades like this are part of our commitment to keep improving the infrastructure behind your projects — more performance at the same price, so your workloads keep running optimally.
What you are getting
One step to activate it
Proxmox already has your new core count. The guest operating system only picks it up after a full power cycle from the client area — not an in-guest restart over SSH.
To activate the extra vCPUs, your VPS needs a full power cycle from the client area. A restart from inside the server (e.g. the reboot command over SSH) will NOT apply the new CPUs, because it keeps the same virtual machine running.
In the client area, open your service, click Shut Down, wait until it fully stops, then click Start (the client-area Reboot button also works).
Once it's back online, run nproc to confirm the new count.
