Needing to re-install an operating system onto a dedicated server is necessary from time to time. Whether your server needs a fresh start, you want to upgrade the OS or if you simply want to switch operating systems, we’ve made it very simple to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Usually to accomplish this, you’ll need to open a ticket with your hosting provider, then wait upwards of 24 hours for them to perform the installation. The good news is, if you have an Auto Deploy Server<\/a> from 1GServers, you can accomplish this from within the Client Portal<\/a>. On top of that, it only takes about 20 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IMPORTANT NOTE: <\/strong>
Re-installing an operating system on your auto deploy server with 1GServers will wipe all data. Be sure you have made a backup of all of your important data before you begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Login to your 1GServers Client Portal<\/a> account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: On the left hand menu, expand the “Auto Deploy Servers” section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3: Click on the “Reinstall Server” option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4: It will ask you to verify your portal password as a security check. Enter your portal password and click “Verify”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 5: On this page, you’ll see a list of all your Auto Deploy Servers. Next to the server you wish to have the OS re-installed on, select the operating system to install, then click on the “Install OS Now” button. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
