It would be difficult to do remotely but not impossible. All you really
need to do is boot the server with a live CD (Ubuntu works well) and
load up gparted. From there just click on the drive and pull the slider
into the free space. Once happy, just click apply.
This may help:

As long as you don't click Apply, no changes are made. So if you get
worried or mess something up, just reboot without clicking Apply.
This goes without saying, but just in case; always have a backup (even
if it's a professional you've hired).

We run a server that is on a vm with several other vms. This particular

already changed the vm size to 60 gig but I don't feel comfortable
running the steps I found on google to resize the actual physical partition.
Is anyone willing to do this for us remotely for a fee? We'd be happy
to pay you to do it - especially if you've done it a few times before
(cause we haven't)
Let me know off list.
thanks :)
