How will upgrading work on the windows VPS's?

Eg. If I go for the lowest VPS but then want to upgrade at a later date to the better ones. Is this possible and how much downtime/work is involved?

It's just like the linux VPS in that we can upgrade you with at most a reboot.

I had another plesk question but forgot to ask, ive used the plesk admin quite a bit but havent had much experience with the backup/restore side.

If I wanted to move a load of domains from one vps to a differnt one so the vps wasnt so overloaded with domains. Is it just a case of using the backup tool to select and backup the domains then restore them in the new vps?

Also what if I wanted to move a vps to a dedicated machine running plesk, again is it just a case of backing plesk up and restoring it? Or is there a lot more work involved.

Im trying to plan for the future, im in a situation at the moment where I have 150 or so domains that I want to transfer from my old host (fasthosts, boooo). Big job to move them all but im hoping with plesk it will make it easy for any future moves, aslong as im moving to another plesk system.

Is this right?

I believe there is a "Migration Manager" (see SW-Soft's website for more info on this) that can assist with this :)
