Picking a Distro
How to choose and reimage your VPS with a different operating system.
This wipes your VPS!
Reimaging completely erases everything on your VPS and replaces it with a fresh install of the operating system you choose. Take a backup of anything important first.
Available options
- Ubuntu
- Debian
- AlmaLinux
- Rocky Linux
- Fedora
- FreeBSD
- Arch Linux
- openSUSE
Windows
Windows is also available, but requires opening a ticket with us first as there's an additional charge.
Don't see what you need?
You can also open a ticket to request a custom image. Whether we can support it depends on the image itself, we vet custom images to protect against things like malware.
Reimaging your VPS
Locate your VPS
Navigate to the panel and click "Manage" on the VPS you'd like to reimage.
Open the rebuild options
