Navigate to Products and click Compute.
Click your target Vultr Cloud Compute instance to open its management page.
Navigate to the Settings tab.
Find and click Change Plan on the left navigation menu.
Click the Change Plan drop-down and select a new instance plan.
Click Upgrade to resize your instance.
Check the confirmation prompt and click Change Plan to apply changes.
