Is there a specific ISO you would like to use that isn’t available? Just reach out to our support team – we’ll be happy to check if we can add it for you.
Mounting ISO file
To mount an ISO, go to your VPS management panel and open Settings → ISOs. Select the ISO file you want, adjust the boot order, and then restart your server.
After the reboot, you can connect to your server using the VNC client and start installing and configuring the operating system.
After mounting an ISO, your server is not yet set up. As a result, no online status will be displayed in the panel, and RDP or SSH connections will not be available. These will only become accessible once the operating system has been successfully installed and configured.
Conclusion
Congratulations, you have successfully selected and mounted your ISO file. For further questions or assistance, please don't hesitate to contact our support team, which is available daily to assist you! 🙂
