Uploading a custom ISO
We allow our customers to upload custom ISOs via a URL.
Within our portal at https://portal.hostworld.uk, follow these steps:
- Navigate to Services and select your VPS.
- From the left menu, click on Enduser Panel (this will open in a new window).
- In the left menu, select ISO.
- Click on Add ISO.
- Enter the ISO URL and provide a name for the ISO.
- Once the upload is complete, return to the portal and go to your service.
- Select VPS Configuration.
- Choose the primary ISO and secondary ISO (if applicable), then set the boot order to 1) CD Drive 2) Hard Disk.
- Stop and start your VPS.
Note: We recommend opening VNC before starting your VPS. Some ISOs may automatically attempt to boot from the hard disk, so fast action may be required to ensure the VPS boots from the ISO.
Keep in mind, ISO files are deleted after 24 hours.
