As noted on the poweroff state of the “Fast-Resize” page: <br> <br>“Fast Resize: Will allocate the upgraded RAM and Cores for your virtual server without making any disk changes. 1 Minute downtime.” <br> <br>By skipping the disk resize, we are able to shorten the time required to resize server RAM and CPU. <br> <br>To change the disk size use a snapshot/re-deploy method instead: <br> <br>1) take a snapshot <br>2) Optional but recommended: verify the snapshot (create/boot/destroy a test droplet of the desired size) <br>3) destroy your old droplet (this releases the IP) <br>4) create a droplet of the desired size using the snapshot as a starting image. This will get the IP released above. <br>

Hi Kamal, <br> <br>Sorry, I don’t see the message! <br> <br>I follow this tutorial and my droplet is fine now :D <br> <br>Tks!
