Question Reinstall OS on a VPS to Install Plesk

[WebHostingAce]

Hi,

This is more Linux related question,

has anyone reinstall OS on a VPS via SSH remotely?

Reason i'm asking is one of our provider deoesn't have Plesk VPSs.

All the VPSs comes with CPanel. I just want to reinstall CentOS and Install Plesk.

Possible with a RAM Drive?

Anyone has to done it before?

Thank you

Hi AusWeb,

... but they will have for sure PURE operating systems as installation images. Consider to contact your VPS - provider. Most providers already answer such questions in their FAQs, or in their documentations.

Installating Plesk on a "pure" server is quite easy, as described at:

Sadly NO, They don't have "Pure Operating Systems" as installation images. Provider - inMotion. I already contacted sales few times.

Is there anyway we can reinstall a OS on a VPS?

I found this online, not i'm not sure how to do this. creating a memory drive and keep ssh running then format the disk and install a OS by ISO

If it is OpenVZ/Virtuozzo VPS - you can't reinstall OS only with ssh access to VPS.
I'm not sure about another virtualization solutions.
