There are no specific use restrictions however you should purchase this with the primary use being storage which is why all packages come with 1 CPU core maximum, this is also a confirmation field on the order form.

Is it possible to upgrade an existing plan to a larger plan later on, without losing the data on disk?
Yep, just boot in to gparted or w/e/ and expand your partition.
These look really nice. Very tempted to give one a whirl.
Could you explain the whole thing about "the primary use being storage which is why all packages come with 1 CPU core maximum" ??
If I order a plan with a dedicated core then that's what I'm limited to, so what does it matter what I use the VPS for? Or is it more of a disk I/O thing?
My guess would be "pls don't transcode 24/7" or similar.
But since it's a dedicated core, what does it matter if I use it 0% or 100%?
0.5 of a core
Not sure on the semantics tbh but if you need more power then pay more money.
Assuming I chose a plan with a full dedicated core.
I just don't understand the cautionary statement, seeing how it's dedicated resources...
I don't know tbh, the normal VPS plans with dedicated cores are more expensive than the storage plans are.
I assume (I'm guessing) that the provider expects/hopes that storage customers will use less resources.
Only @AnthonySmith can give the definative answer
Yeah, maybe he just means "The most you will get is 1 dedicated core, so it's more suited for storage than high-CPU usage websites"
Maybe I'm just over-analyzing it. But it's the first time I've seen a VPS with a dedicated core, and a provider expecting a certain usage from it. I thought the whole point of getting a dedicated core is that you can do what you want, and not impact other users on the node.
@blackbird, what I got from @AnthonySmith when I asked him in a ticket a while ago was this:
Thanks for that. Makes sense. I could see people (especially on LET) doing a "Why isn't my HDD storage VPS performing as fast as my NVME 4-CPU VPS?"
Yes it really means keep in mind this is raid 5 spinning disk storage, intended for storage not app stack performance
Hmm. Since when do offer threads not auto-sink anymore?
(Not specific to this thread, to be clear. I see other offer threads getting bumped too.)
It was broken during BF/CM and it seemed to not cause any major upset so it was left broken I believe.
Typical
