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