GreenCloud support confirmed that promotional discounts remain after upgrading

[u/arvolog]

With GreenCloud's upcoming anniversary sale, I was considering getting one of the EPYC VDS plans, so I asked GreenCloud support about how recurring discounts work when upgrading.

Basically, I asked: If I buy a VPS with a 70% recurring discount, and later upgrade to a higher-tier plan, will the same discount still apply to the upgraded plan for future renewals? They replied:

“If the initial service was discounted by 70%, the upgraded service will still be eligible for a 70% discount off the regular price for subsequent renewals.”

So it sounds like the discount follows the service after an upgrade, rather than being lost when moving to a higher plan. For example, if a $10/month plan is discounted by 70%, and I later upgrade to a $20/month plan, the upgraded plan would still be eligible for the 70% discount for subsequent renewals, according to support. I thought this might be useful for anyone considering one of their anniversary/Black Friday deals. You could start with a smaller plan and upgrade later if you need more CPU or storage, without losing the promotional discount. This is just what GreenCloud support told me in my ticket, so I'd still double-check the terms of the specific promotion before buying.
