Because Phoenix deploys servers on demand with any OS, re-installing or switching your operating system is just a matter of deleting your VPS and deploying a fresh one:
- Open your server from Services > Servers.
- Click the Delete Server () icon (in the action bar at the top right) and confirm. This erases the VPS and all of its data, so save anything you want to keep first.
- Click the Deploy VPS button, choose the operating system you want (along with the plan, location, etc…), and then deploy. New servers come up in under a minute.
That’s the whole process; there’s no ISO to mount or media to swap for a standard install.
If you’d rather install from an ISO yourself, for a custom partition layout or an OS we don’t offer as a template, you can do that too; see Custom Partitions. If you need an ISO that isn’t in the list, open a support ticket with a URL to the .iso file and we’ll add it.
