How to upgrade your cPanel account limit

If you have an existing cPanel VPS and would like to upgrade or downgrade the account limit, you can do so by following these instructions:

1. Login to the https://portal.controlmyvps.com.au using your email address and password

2. Click on 'Virtual Machines'

3. Click on 'Manage' next to the machine you wish to modify.

4. Click on the 'Modify' tab

5. Click on 'Upgrade/Downgrade Options'

6. Here you can add change the option 'cPanel Licensing' to a new configuration. Note that this is processed manually by our staff so there may be a short wait for the account limit to be increased. You cannot set the account limit below the actual number of accounts currently on your cPanel server. You will be charged pro-rata for any change.

7. As this change does not require a reboot on the following screen you should select 'Now' when asked about scheduling the upgrade (unless you are also changing resources such as RAM, CPU, or NVME/Flash Disk which will require a reboot).

Note that when you upgrade CPU, RAM or Disk Space upon receiving payment your server will automatically be shutdown, the resources modified and restarted at the time you scheduled.
