ISO images
Your virtual server has a virtual CDROM drive which can be used to boot the server from ISO images.
We provide a selection of images for modern distributions (see our list of available ISO images), as well as a system rescue CD.
If your preferred distribution is not shown, you can upload your own images.
Uploading an ISO image
Images are uploaded using the Servers / Boot media section of the control panel. If you have already uploaded any ISOs, you will see them listed here.
To upload a new image, simply copy and paste a URL into the URL box. If you want to use a different name for the image than the one in the URL, you can enter it in the Name box. When you hit the Fetch button, our servers will start to fetch the image. This can take a few minutes; you can reload the page to monitor progress.
Booting from an ISO
Once an ISO has been uploaded, or if you would like to use one of our standard ISOs, you simply need to load it into the VPS. You can do this via the control panel.
First you will need to shut down the VPS, then select the ISO image you require with with the Change CDROM option.
After selecting your ISO, select Boot from CDROM, then Start your server, and it will boot from the cdrom. You can use the VNC console to access your server while it is booted from the cdrom.
