Is there a way for me to start over with my virtual dedicated server?

If, at any time, you want to revert to a clean setup on your virtual dedicated server, you can re-provision your server. Re-provisioning erases all of the content on your server hard drive. Your server will return to the state it was in when you first purchased it.

You can re-provision your server using the Virtual Dedicated Hosting Manager.

1. Log in to your Account Manager.
2. In the My Products section, select Dedicated/Virtual Dedicated Servers.
3. Click Launch Manager next to the dedicated or virtual dedicated server you want to upgrade. The Virtual Dedicated Hosting Manager opens.
4. In the Account Summary section, click Re-provision Server. The Re-provision Server page opens.
5. If you choose to, enter a new hostname and username. These values are defaulted to the current hostname and username for this account.
6. Enter and confirm a new password and then click Submit.

You will receive a confirmation notice once you server is re-provisioned and ready to go.

NOTE:Typically, your server will be ready in less than five hours.
