If your workflows are running slowly, timing out, or you are running out of storage on your n8n VPS, it is time to upgrade to a larger plan. Hordanso makes this seamless.
Signs You Need to Upgrade
- Workflows are failing or timing out with no code errors
- n8n dashboard loads slowly
- Server CPU or RAM is consistently above 80% (check via SSH: top or htop)
- Disk storage is running low (check via SSH: df -h)
- You want to enable Queue Mode for concurrent workflow execution (requires at least the Workflow Pro plan)
How to Upgrade
- Log in to clients.hordanso.net.
- Click Services > My Services.
- Find your n8n VPS plan and click Manage.
- Click the Upgrade/Downgrade button.
- Compare the available plans and click Upgrade to the plan you want.
- Review the prorated cost — you will be charged the difference between your current plan and the new plan for the remaining billing period.
- Click Confirm Order to complete the upgrade.
What Happens to My Data and Workflows?
When you upgrade your n8n VPS:
- All your workflows, credentials, and data are preserved
- The server resources (CPU, RAM, storage) are increased
- Your n8n URL and IP address remain the same
- There may be a brief restart period (usually under 5 minutes)
Plan Comparison (Quick Reference)
- Automation Starter: 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 75 GB — from $7.90/mo or ₦23,040/mo
- Workflow Pro: 6 vCPU, 12 GB RAM, 100 GB — from $12.31/mo — adds Queue Mode

Tip: Before upgrading, SSH into your server and run free -h and df -h to measure current RAM and disk usage. This helps you pick the right tier.
