Did you read this ??
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-resize-your-droplets-on-digitalocean
There are two option in Resize (only when you power down your droplet for the upgrade),
The only limitation is that you can’t add separate resource, like staying on base USD 5 plan with 512MB RAM but want to add extra 40 GB space..
If you upgrade, whole plan has to upgrade..
yeah i didnt read that.
will my data remain same and how long it will take?
The first step of shutting the droplet from terminal wont take much, a minute of so, depending on your OS and its configuration..
The resizing and new plan activation may take a while depending on your present disk size and used space of it..
It may take 15 to 30 mins, but I have seen in some cases, it may take twice more than that..
If you see the process taking longer than an hour, in that case, you should open a support ticket..
…and not to forget change all the performance settings which are still optimized for the smaller droplet like swap size, no. of workers, php memory allocation etc. etc. etc.
Give us some link to read more about server (Apache / MySQL / php) optimization tips and steps..
Thanks..
