Is there any downtime if I upgrade my VPS?

No. There will be no downtime while upgrading your VPS. This is because enough care is taken to ensure that your site is seamlessly available to ensure uninterrupted business visibility. Use of enterprise grade hardware components from DELL, IBM, and HP ensure that the web servers are built to perfection and perform to ensure high uptime.

Reputed hosts attach utmost significance to the availability of clients’ web applications and leave no stone unturned to keep websites up and running. Normally users begin with shared hosting or VPS hosting to manage their websites and continue with the same for some time. It is only when their needs start exceeding the availability of resources that the need to upgrade is felt.

Decision to switch the type of hosting must be taken with great care. It is strongly recommended that user should read the policy of upgrades during the signing of initial service level agreements. This will help in understanding whether there is going to be downtime during upgrading or even downgrading to another type of hosting. If the hosting service provider is not committing to avoid downtime during the switch over, then it is better to avoid the services.
