If your site is currently running on a **shared bench**, you can move it to a **private bench** to gain access to **Server Scripts**, install **custom apps**, and have better control over your bench environment.



1. **Verify Plan Eligibility :** First, confirm that your **site plan supports private benches**. If your current plan does not support this feature, a **banner will appear on the site page** indicating that an upgrade is required. Click the **Upgrade Plan** button to proceed.
