Overview

The following article explains how to upgrade or downgrade your (mt) Media Temple server.

NOTE:

The Grid only has only one plan level, and as a result cannot be upgraded or downgraded.

The "Upgrade Server" option will only appear if you are on the Grid Lite plan, which was only offered for a limited time. If you are on a Grid Lite, this option can be used to upgrade to a full Grid plan.

Instructions

NOTE:
Managed WordPress servers are able to be UPGRADED using this one-click tool method. For DOWNGRADES, customers will want to purchase a brand new server and migration.

  1. Log into your Media Temple.
  2. Select the blue ADMIN button associated to your Managed WordPress server.
  3. Locate your desired site. Select mwp-aria.png and then Settings.
