OS Reinstallation
Introduction
This guide explains how to reinstall the operating system on your VPS through the INTROSERV Client Area. Reinstallation helps when you want to start over with a clean system, switch to another operating system, or replace a damaged operating system with a fresh installation.
OS reinstallation permanently deletes all data stored on the VPS, including your files and configuration. Back up everything you need before you start.
How to Reinstall the Operating System
Step 1. Log in to the INTROSERV Client Area.
Step 2. Open Orders in the left sidebar.
Step 3. Find your VPS in the list and click the order, or the view icon in the Action column, to open Order Details.
Step 4. On the Details tab, find the Cloud block.
Step 5. Under REINSTALL, select the operating system you want from the drop-down list.
Step 6. Click REINSTALL.
Step 7. Confirm the action to start the reinstallation.
After Reinstallation
The new login details appear in the Description area of the Details tab. Wait until the reinstallation is complete, then use them to log in to the server and change the password inside the operating system. For connection steps, see the Log In to the Virtual Server manual.
The panel always shows the default password set during installation. If you change the password inside the operating system, the panel does not update it.
If you need a server with a ready-made application rather than a clean OS, use the Marketplace tab instead. For details, see the Selecting and Installing Software from Marketplace manual. If the operating system you need is not in the list, contact support.
