Upgrading your Hosting Package
If you decide that you need to update your web hosting package, you can do so from your MacHighway client area. If you do not know how to access your client area, you can find out here.
Once you are logged in, proceed to your My Services section. You can access this section either by:
- Clicking on the Services block in the center of the home page.
- Clicking on + View All in the Your Active Products/Services section.
- Selecting My Services from the Services drop down menu in the top menu bar.
You will now see a list of all of your services. Find the service you wish to upgrade and click on the Active Button.
Once on the hosting plan Service page is loaded, you will see the Actions menu on the left-hand side. In this menu, you will see the option to Upgrade/Downgrade.
On this page, you will be able to choose the plan that you are looking to upgrade to. You can choose the package and select a term, and click on Choose Product.
The system will calculate the Upgrade/Downgrade Charge. Choose your payment method and process the payment to finalize the upgrade. Your account will be upgraded as soon as the payment is processed.
Changing your Payment Term or Downgrading your Hosting Package
If you wish to change the payment term or downgrade your current hosting plan, you will need to contact our support team.
You can submit your request via Email, Chat or Phone.
Upgrade/Downgrade Charge
When you upgrade or downgrade your current plan, there may be an Upgrade or Downgrade charge applied and an Invoice created. This charge is the difference between the two packages for the remaining term length.
For example, let us use some made up package names. Lets say you are upgrading from the "Mac Mini" plan ($60/year) to the "Mac Pro" plan ($120/year) and there is currently two months left on the plan.
Old Plan New Plan
$60/year=$5/month $120/year = $10/month
Where you have already paid $5/month for the original package, the Upgrade charge would the the difference of the packages for the remaining months. Where you have two months left, you would be charged the difference times the remaining months.
Months Remaining(New plan - Old plan)
= 2($10 - $5)
= 2($5)
= $10
Your current due date will not change, but you will be billed at the new rate when your new invoice is created. If you are downgrading your services, a credit may be applied to your account for the same reason.
Note: These calculation is done on a daily basis in actuality. We just used the monthly costs to help simplify things here.
