How to Downgrade a HostOnce Plan
The downgrade action will move your service to a plan with fewer resources or features. You should first verify if you can use the plan for your current website or application/server.
- Access the billing section of HostOnce.
- Choose the service management tab and choose the service that needs downgrading.
- Review the resources that are part of your existing plan.
- See if there is an option for changing plans. If a downgrade is available for this service, then follow the instructions provided.
- Choose a lower plan from the available plans.
- Review the limits on resources, the features, billing cycle, and price of the plan chosen.
- Note any warnings provided regarding resource limits, data, incompatibility, or additional fees.
- Make the changes only once you understand what you will be getting into.
- Verify later on whether the changes have been made successfully or not.
If there is no option for plan change in the portal, do not cancel your existing service and get another one without first understanding the impact. Contact HostOnce Support to know about other possibilities.
