How to Customize and Reinstall Operating System

This article will help you to know how to customize and reinstall an OS (operating system) on any server remotely.

When you order any service, you have the opportunity to customize different options and configurations of the selected and still unselected services. One of these options is to select the desired OS. We offer virtual servers for running Linux or Windows operating systems with different versions. Each user chooses the type of OS depending on their own preferences and requirements, as well as administration capabilities.

How to Select OS

There are three options to select the desired OS:

  • Select the desired OS while customizing configurations of the selected service.
  • Select the desired OS while customizing configurations of the unselected service.
  • Specify the OS template in the order note if the required template is not in the list.
