If you want to start fresh or switch to a different operating system, you can perform a complete server reinstall directly from the FlashRDP Client Area. The deployment typically completes within 3 to 5 minutes.
Important: This action will permanently erase all data. Rebuilding reinstalls the operating system from scratch. All files, databases, and configurations on this server will be lost and cannot be recovered.

How to reinstall Your Server

1

Navigate to the reinstall Section

Log into the FlashRDP Client Area and open your active service. Scroll down to the reinstall OS section.
2

Select Your Preferred Operating System

Choose the operating system version you want to install.
  • Windows: Access your server via RDP after deployment.
  • Linux: Access your server via SSH after deployment.
3

Choose Your Authentication Method

Depending on the OS you selected, your authentication options will differ:

For Windows

Windows servers do not require an SSH key. Once the installation completes, the new Administrator password will simply be generated and sent directly to your registered email address.

For Linux

Linux distributions will ask you to choose an Authentication Method. You have two options:

1. Password Authentication

Quick access with an automatically generated password. Ideal for quick trials or remote login.
  • Select Continue with Password. The new root password will be emailed to you.
Secure and password-less login using a public key.
  • Select Continue with SSH Key.
  • Choose Use Existing Public Key and paste your key (e.g., ssh-rsa AAAA... or ssh-ed25519 AAAA...) to Continue with This Public Key.
  • Alternatively, choose Generate a New Key to let the system generate a fresh SSH key pair for you.
4

Confirm and reinstall

Review your selections and initiate the reinstall. Within 3 to 5 minutes, your server will be completely wiped and freshly deployed with your new operating system!
