Can I use a custom ISO on my VPS?
When it comes to setting up a Virtual Private Server (VPS), flexibility is key. One common question we encounter is whether customers can use their own ISOs for the installation of the operating system. Here's what you need to know:
By default, we provide netboot.xyz, an open-source network boot firmware. Netboot.xyz allows you to install a wide variety of operating systems, including popular distributions of Linux, FreeBSD, Windows, and more. This gives you the flexibility to choose the best OS for your specific needs without the need to upload custom ISO files.
While netboot.xyz provides access to many operating systems, we understand that some customers may have specific requirements that necessitate using a custom ISO. In these cases, we're happy to support you!
Find the ISO: Locate the ISO file you want to use and ensure it's available online for download.
Raise a Ticket: Contact our support team by raising a support ticket. In the ticket, please include the download link to the custom ISO.
Wait for Confirmation: Our team will review your request, and once approved, make the ISO available to your VPS. You'll receive confirmation once this is complete.
Install the OS: Follow the usual installation process for your chosen operating system using the custom ISO.
Whether you're looking to use one of the many operating systems available through netboot.xyz or have a custom ISO, we're here to help. Using your own ISO on your VPS has never been easier, thanks to our flexible solutions and dedicated support team.
