Regarding downgrading a droplet, check this -> https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-downgrade-digitalocean-droplets
But if its only a wordpress website, in that case, follow the wordpress guide.
- Backup Database
- Backup wp_config.php (for FTP and database details)
- Backup the WordPress content directory via FTP.
- Take a snapshot of the droplet in DO.
- Delete the droplet
- Immediately deploy another 512 MB droplet in same region. (this should retain the previous IP)
- Install server back end (unless you have deployed the DO pre configured WordPress) and WordPress.
- Restore the required details from previous wp_config.php (DB / FTP details)
- Restore the Database
- replace the backed up wp content directory in new droplet.
This should get the website running again.
Hi, i just resized my droplet from 1GB RAM to 2GB RAM ( CPU & Disk Size not changed). I did not lose any disk data, my old IP address & disk data were retained.
i just followed the steps in this documentation : https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/droplets/how-to/resize/
