Is it possible to rename an App Service Plan?

I have already tried in both the old and new portals and can't find any rename options.

No, you can't.

However, if you create a new App Service Plan in the same region and resource group then you can move all your sites to the new App Service Plan and delete the old one.

  • Is it possible to change the resource group of a Web Site? – Mark Cooper Aug 25 '15 at 06:00

    Yes, using powershell. This page has more details: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/app-service-move-resources/ – Zain Rizvi Aug 25 '15 at 19:50

    It is also possible by using the Azure Portal. In the Web App settings you can choose "Change App Service Plan". – Philipp Stauss Mar 18 '16 at 08:35
  • You may need to scale up your existing app service plan first for this option to work. It didn't work on the shared tier. – Swimburger Jul 09 '18 at 20:07

    Not necessarily. You can't move all your sites to the new plan if the new plan happens to be created in a different workspace ([source](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/app-service-plan-manage#move-an-app-to-another-app-service-plan)) – pcdev Nov 28 '18 at 04:05

    "Change App Service Plan" doesn't "rename" an app service plan. It "moves" a web app to a different app service plan. Neither the source nor destination app service plan names are renamed. – Triynko Oct 24 '19 at 21:44

No but you can change it like this (if it is in the same region and resource group as mentioned by Zain Rizvi):

Create a new App Service Plan and bind it to the correct Subscription and Resource Group. Example:

enter image description here

Then go to your App Service and choose "Change App Service plan"
