If you need more flexibility from your VPS, LumaDock lets you upgrade certain options without reinstalling or migrating your server.

This article shows how to add extra public IPv4 addresses and how to adjust backup retention slots from the client area.

Open the reconfigure options for your VPS

To change optional features, you first need to open the correct server management page.

Step 1 – Open your VPS management page

Log in to your LumaDock client area and open My Products & Services.
Find the VPS you want to modify and click Manage.


Step 2 – Open reconfigure options

Inside the VPS overview page, scroll to the Actions section.
Click Reconfigure Options to open the upgrade screen.


Add additional public IPv4 addresses

Extra IPv4 addresses can be useful for hosting multiple services, running separate applications, or configuring custom network setups.

Step 3 – Select the number of IPv4 addresses

In the Additional public IPv4 section, review your current configuration on the left.

On the right side, enter the new total number of IPv4 addresses you want to assign to the VPS.


The interface shows the maximum allowed value and the monthly price per IPv4 address.

Once applied, the new IPv4 address is provisioned automatically.

No reboot is required in most cases, but you will need to configure the address inside your operating system.


Change backup retention slots

Backup retention slots control how many restore points LumaDock keeps for your VPS. Increasing the number gives you more historical backups to restore from.


Step 4 – Choose a backup retention plan


In the Backup retention slots section, check your current plan on the left.


Use the dropdown menu on the right to select a higher retention option or leave it set to No Change if you do not want to modify it.


Each option shows the monthly price clearly before confirmation.

Changes to backup retention apply immediately and affect future backups. Existing backups follow the new retention rules.

Complete the upgrade purchase

After selecting all desired options, you must confirm and pay for the upgrade.

Step 5 – Review pricing and place the order

Scroll to the bottom of the upgrade page and review the order summary.


The summary shows the selected options, the prorated amount for the current billing period, and any recurring charges.


Click Checkout to proceed.


Step 6 – Confirm payment

If the upgrade has a cost, an invoice is generated automatically.


Complete the payment using your preferred payment method from the Billing section.


Once payment is confirmed, the upgrade is applied to your VPS.
