Steps

  1. Log in to your client area and go to Services > My Services.
  2. Click on your VPS.
  3. Click Reinstall (or Rebuild depending on the control panel).
  4. Select your desired operating system from the list.
  5. Confirm the reinstall. The process typically takes 2\u20135 minutes.
  6. New root credentials will be emailed to you, or displayed on screen.

Available Operating Systems

We support a range of Linux distributions including Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, and CentOS Stream. Windows is available on select plans \u2014 contact support if you need it.
