Benefits to Upgrade WordPress Hosting
Upgrading your WordPress Hosting involves moving to a higher tiered hosting plan which will allow you to accommodate for increased traffic, better performance, and other additional features. Here are points to consider when upgrading your WordPress Hosting:
Backup
Make a backup of your WordPress website, including the files and database, before you do a WordPress update or make any changes. As a matter of course, this is vitally important prior to an update your WordPress site, or any plugins. This way, you can easily restore your site in case something goes awry.
Test Your Website
After upgrading your WordPress Hosting plan and completing the migration process (if you upgraded to Hosted.com), it is important to test your website. This will make sure everything is functioning correctly. Also, take the time to check each page, as well as the various functionalities and performance metrics, to confirm that the upgrade was successful.

Monitor Your Site’s Performance
Monitor your website’s performance on your new hosting plan. It is suggested that you keep an eye on speed, uptime, and other relevant metrics to be certain that the upgrade has positively impacted your site.
