Notes

  • This cannot be undone. All files, configurations, and installed software are permanently deleted.
  • A VPS NAT can only be reset once per day.
  • The VPS NAT is reinstalled with the same operating system. There is no Change OS option for VPS NAT.
  • Your NAT hostname, domain, port mappings, plan, and expiry date stay the same — only the disk is wiped. Services must be started again after the reset.
  • The new password must be 8–64 characters, letters and digits, with no spaces. It is not stored, so save it before you submit.
  • The SSH host key changes, so your terminal will warn about a changed host on the next connection. Remove the old key with the ssh-keygen -R command shown in the dialog, then connect again.
