How to reinstall your operating system

Reinstalling your VPS replaces the current operating system. This usually deletes data on the server.

Before reinstalling

  • Back up files, databases, and configuration.
  • Confirm you have DNS and application details recorded.
  • Check that you have access to any SSH keys or passwords needed after reinstall.

General steps

  1. Log in to the client portal.
  2. Open your VPS service.
  3. Select reinstall or OS template.
  4. Choose the operating system.
  5. Confirm the reinstall.

If you are unsure, contact support before reinstalling.
