If, at any time, you want to revert to a clean setup on your dedicated server, you can reprovision it. Reprovisioning your server returns it to a default state — as if you just purchased it.
Reprovisioning erases all of the content on your server's hard drive.
You can reprovision your server using the Dedicated Hosting Manager.
- Log in to your Account Manager.
- Click Servers.
- Next to the server you want to use, click Launch.
- In the Support section, click Reprovision Server.
- (Optional) Enter a new hostname and username. If new values are not entered, they default to the current hostname and username for this account.
- Enter and confirm a new password and then click Submit.
Once you server is reprovisioned and ready to go, we email you confirmation.
NOTE: Typically, a reprovision completes in less than five hours, but if you have a RAID card or hardware firewall, it might take up to 24 hours before your server is ready.
