A dedicated server can be reinstalled at any time. This can be useful when you want to run a different image on the machine or if you want to have a fresh installation.

Important:

Be careful when using this feature. Reinstalling your server erases the disk and all data on the disk will be lost. Make sure to have a backup before reinstalling your server.

  1. Click Services from the side menu.
  2. Select your relevant server.
  3. Click Reinstall to enter the installation wizard.
  4. Choose the operating system that you want to install on the machine.
  5. Click Install to launch the installation. It will take about 10 minutes to complete.
