Reinstall the operating system on a VPS

An OS reinstall wipes the disk. Export data first, then ask support to rebuild from a supported image.

Last updated

A reinstall returns the VPS to a supported base image (Ubuntu, Debian, Rocky Linux, or Windows Server when licensed). Everything on the disk is deleted.

  1. Download backups and snapshot anything you still need.
  2. Open a ticket from the dashboard with the service name, the target image and confirmation that data may be wiped.
  3. We schedule the rebuild, then send new root or Administrator credentials.

Windows reinstalls need the paid license to remain on the service. Custom ISOs are not a standard shared offering.
