Reloading the operating system (OS) of your VPS can be a necessary task if you want to start fresh with a clean installation or try a new OS.
With Solid VPS’s Client Area Panel and Enduser Panel, this process is simple and straightforward. Whether you’re a system administrator or an end user, Virtualizor provides a convenient way to reload your VPS OS without much hassle.
In this article, we’ll guide you through the steps to reload the OS from both the Client Area Panel and the Enduser Panel.
Why Reload the OS?
There are several reasons you might want to reload your VPS’s operating system:
- Start Fresh: If the current OS setup is outdated, misconfigured, or you want a clean slate.
- Change the Operating System: If you want to switch from one OS to another, such as from CentOS to Ubuntu.
- Fix Issues: Reloading the OS can help resolve persistent system issues or corruption that can’t be easily fixed.
Reloading the OS will erase all data on the VPS, so it’s important to back up any important files before proceeding.
