Many VPS users perceive a plan as a conditional “package” of services that can be freely increased or decreased depending on their needs. Upgrading a plan usually causes no issues: more resources mean more possibilities. However, when it comes to switching to a lower plan, clients often face a refusal and do not understand why the provider cannot simply “reduce” the server. In reality, this impossibility has not a commercial but a purely technical nature, related to how virtualization and server infrastructure work.
