If your server is running short on resources, you can adjust them directly in the dashboard. With Change Resources you set the RAM and storage and expand the slots for backups, databases and instances. Additional CPU cores are booked as an addon via Manage addons.

You can reach the Change Resources dialog in several ways:
- Click the Change Resources icon in your server's header.
- Open the Actions dropdown and select Change Resources.
- In the Overview, click the Change resources link in the Resource usage box.

Expand Backup, Database and Instance Slots
If the slots for backups, databases or instances are not enough, you expand them in the same dialog:
