# How to: Resize your Cloud Server

> [!WARNING]
> Before resizing your cloud service, remember:
> 
> - It is not possible to resize to a smaller plan
> - Increasing the storage size is a permanent change and cannot be reversed.
> - Your server must reboot to complete the resize process, which can take several minutes.
> - After resizing is completed, your server will automatically be started again.
