Boot from ISO on VPS: Rescue Disc and Manual Installation Now Available

We just added a pretty useful feature to our portal – you can now reboot your VPS and boot from an ISO instead. This comes in handy when you need to use an ISO as a rescue disc or do a manual installation.

How It Works

Head over to portal.serverpoint.com and you'll find the option to reboot your VM and boot from an ISO. Simple as that. This is great for recovery situations, manual OS installations, or when you need to boot into a specific tool.

• Custom configurations - set up your server exactly how you want it

The feature is live in the portal right now, so you can start using it with your VPS hosting services whenever you need it. It's one of those features that might not seem critical until you really need it – and when you do, you'll be glad it's there.
