With the addition of [bandwidth-based pricing](https://kinsta.com/blog/bandwidth-based-plans/) for Kinsta’s WordPress hosting plans, we’ve updated the MyKinsta dashboard so that you can choose how you want us to measure activity on your existing websites.

Customers [establishing new accounts](https://kinsta.com/pricing/) will select server bandwidth usage or visitor counts as their preferred method for sizing hosting plans. But existing customers are most likely to have plans based on our long-standing visit-based approach.

Now you can easily switch between visit-based and bandwidth-based pricing for your hosting plan within MyKinsta.

Here’s how:

## A new look for the Update Plan tool

A hosting plan at Kinsta might support just one website or many. Traffic across all websites within a plan is consolidated for billing purposes, so the location for resource usage reports and plan details is under **Company settings**.

To find the details of your current plan, navigate to **_username_** \> **Company settings** \> **My Plan**. The **Plans & subscriptions** page will display the plan type, cost, and renewal date. Additional add-ons you have purchased will also be listed here:

Above, a **WP 5** plan based on visits is shown, along with a Kinsta Automatic Updates add-on. The hosting plan renews annually on Aug. 22.

To change this plan, click the **Update plan** button.

On the **Update WordPress Hosting plan** dialog below, the current WP 5 plan is highlighted in green. The plan’s features include support for up to 125,000 visits a month:

To change this visit-based plan to bandwidth metering without changing other features (including the price), click on the dropdown that currently displays **Visits pricing** and select **Bandwidth pricing**.

Below, the same WP 5 plan with bandwidth pricing enabled reports a server limit of **65 GB** :

To accept this new measure for the plan, click the **Continue** button. MyKinsta asks you to review what will happen next:

Note that updating the WordPress hosting plan will start a new billing cycle from the current date. However, you will be credited for any unused portion of the existing plan.

If you are satisfied with these next steps, click the **Update plan and pay** button.

## Switching from bandwidth pricing to visits pricing

A hosting plan configured for bandwidth-based billing can also be converted to visit-based measurement, beginning with the steps outlined above.

When you select **Update plan** from the **Plans & subscriptions** page. The following dialog will show bandwidth-based plans with the option to choose **Visits pricing** :

Again, switching between **Bandwidth pricing** and **Visits pricing** will generate a new start date for the billing cycle.

## Summary

Kinsta’s WordPress hosting customers can choose between server bandwidth requirements or visitor counts when sizing new hosting plans.

Those with legacy visit-based plans can easily switch to bandwidth-based pricing right in their MyKinsta dashboards. Our standard visit-based hosting plans have equivalent bandwidth-based versions so that customers can change the approach to plan limits without changing plan prices.
