You can choose to install an operating system image on a new VPS SSD as part of the order. If you ordered the VPS without an operating system, or if you want to reinstall the existing system, make the following preparations:

• Back up the data and configuration you wish to keep. The system will format all virtual disks during reinstallation, so you will lose all data on the entire server. Reinstalling will also delete any existing snapshots.
• Pay attention to the choice of operating system. You can only reinstall up to once per hour.

Reinstalling the OS image from the customer administration panel usually takes 5 – 15 minutes.

By reinstalling the system, you will lose all data, including saved snapshots.

To perform the reinstall, follow these steps:

1. Log into the customer administration panel.
2. In the navigation bar, select Server Hosting VPS SSD.
3. Choose the VPS you want to reinstall.
4. In the left menu, select Reinstall.
5. Choose the operating system and click the Launch Reinstall button.
