At TransIP you can order a Forwarding Service, an Email Only package and a Web Hosting package for your domain name. This article shows you how to upgrade these packages to a larger package.
- The Forwarding Service enables you to forward your domain name's visitors to another address. It also allows you to forward email sent to your domain name to another email address of your choosing.
The Forwarding Service can be upgraded to both an Email Only package and a Web Hosting package.
- The Email Only package allows you to both forward visitors and create email addresses. The specific amount of email adresses depends on the Email Only package you have.
The Email Only package can be upgraded to a larger Email Only package or a Web Hosting package.

Upgrading your current package can be done via the control panel. From your here, visit the tab 'Domains & Hosting' and tick the box next to your domain name.
Next, click on 'Add / Upgrade'.
On the next page you will see the available upgrade options. The upgrade options that are not possible are greyed out. The upgrade options that are possible are shown in colour.
Once you've chosen your upgrade option, click on 'Order' and finalize your order.
The upgrade will take place almost immediately. Upgrading an existing Web Hosting package to a larger one will simply add the features of the larger Web Hosting package. The data on your Web Hosting package will not be affected whatsoever.
As we mentioned before, the Forwarding Service and the Email Only package allows you to forward your visitors to another address on the web. When upgrading one of these packages to a Web Hosting package, the forwarding service will no longer be included.
