Reorder a dedicated server

Last update: October 05 2026Open in Markdown

If you already have a pre-configured or custom server, you can reorder the same server. Reordering a server is available to the Account Owner and a user with the member role.

Prebuilt configuration server

1. In the Control Panel, in the top menu, click Products and select Dedicated Servers.

2. Select a project.

3. In the Servers section, open the server page → in the menu, select Reorder server.

4. On the Order placement tab, check the configuration of the dedicated server.

5. Check the region and pool where your server will be located. If necessary, change the region and pool. After placing the order, the region and pool cannot be changed.

6. Select an operating system for automatic installation on the server. To select:

   • standard OS image — open the OS tab. If you need a server without an OS, on the OS tab, select No OS - boot — after the server is delivered, you can install the OS manually or via automatic installation.

     If you select the Astra Linux OS, the server will be delivered with No OS - boot. After paying for the server, you need to order the Astra Linux OS installation service on the server.

   • OS image with applications — open the Applications tab;

   • prepared ISO image — open the Images tab.

7. Optional: select the system disk where the OS will be installed. If you selected a Linux-based OS in step 4, you can partition the disks and configure software RAID.

8. Optional: to securely connect to the server via encrypted SSH protocol, select a previously uploaded and placed SSH key or add a new one. Learn more in the Create and place an SSH key on a dedicated server instructions.

9. Optional: if you have a Linux-based OS, the User data field will be available. To automate server configuration, specify server configuration parameters in the cloud-config or bash script format. Learn more in the User data examples subsection.

10. Select a traffic pattern.

11. Select a billing plan.

12. Specify the required number of servers. If the required number is not available, click Notify when available and create a ticket.

13. Optional: configure IP addresses. If you selected an OS for autoinstallation in step 6, the network interface on the server will be automatically configured with the configured IP addresses.

    13.1. Configure the public network by selecting a VLAN:

    • public — the server will be assigned a public IP address from the shared VLAN. It will not be possible to change the IP address or add additional IP addresses to the server;

    • dedicated — if you have already ordered a dedicated subnet, you can select the subnet and assign an IP address to the server.

    13.2. Configure a private network. An IP address from a private subnet can be assigned to the private port of a pre-configured server with a single 1 Gbps NIC if a private VLAN is already allocated in the pool and a Linux-based OS is selected for automatic installation.

    To assign a private IP address, select Assign IP address from private subnet:

    • if you have not yet added a private subnet to the Control Panel, click Create private subnet, enter the CIDR from the standard range, click Create, and enter the IP address;

    • if you have already added a private subnet to the Control Panel, select the subnet and enter the IP address.

14. Optional: on the Additional services tab, view the list of additional services . You can order additional services after the server is delivered.

15. Confirm your agreement with the payment terms.

16. Click Pay now.

17. Review the order details and click Pay. Once the server is ready for delivery, you will receive an email notification and will be able to connect to it. The paid period starts from the moment the server is delivered. The server password will be available for viewing for 24 hours after server delivery. If you forget your password, you can reset and recover it. After ordering, you can only upgrade components: disks, RAM, GPU.

Custom configuration server

1. In the Control Panel, in the top menu, click Products and select Dedicated Servers.

2. Select a project.

3. In the Servers section, open the server page → in the menu, select Reorder server.

4. If the server configuration is available for ordering, proceed to step 5. If an identical server configuration is not available in any region, you can assemble a new server in the configurator — learn more in the Order a custom dedicated server instructions.

5. On the Order placement tab, check the configuration of the dedicated server.

6. Check the region and pool where your server will be located. If necessary, change the region and pool. After placing the order, the region and pool cannot be changed.

7. Optional: if the server configuration includes one hardware RAID controller and you will use a Linux-based OS, configure the RAID array.
   Disks of the same size that were added to the RAID controller are automatically combined into a single RAID array.

   To configure a RAID array:

   7.1.Click Add RAID array or change the disk composition in the existing array.

   7.2.Select the drives you want to add to the RAID array.

   7.3.Select the RAID level. Note the specifics of configuring software RAID in the control panel:

   • only two drives can be added to a RAID 1 array;
   • automatic OS installation is available only for Linux-based OSs and for RAID 1 and RAID 0 arrays.

8. Select an operating system for automatic installation on the server. To select:

   • standard OS image — open the OS tab. If you need a server without an OS, on the OS tab, select No OS - boot — after the server is delivered, you can install the OS manually or via automatic installation.

     If you select the Astra Linux OS, the server will be delivered with No OS - boot. After paying for the server, you need to order the Astra Linux OS installation service on the server.

   • OS image with applications — open the Applications tab;

   • prepared ISO image — open the Images tab.

9. Optional: select the system disk where the OS will be installed. If you selected a Linux-based OS in step 8, you can partition the disks and configure software RAID.

10. Optional: to securely connect to the server via encrypted SSH protocol, select a previously uploaded and placed SSH key or add a new one. Learn more in the Create and place an SSH key on a dedicated server instructions.

11. Optional: if you have a Linux-based OS and no HBA or RAID controllers are added to the server configuration, the User data field will be available. To automate server configuration, specify server configuration parameters in the cloud-config or bash script format. Learn more in the User data examples subsection.

12. Select a traffic pattern.

13. Select a billing plan.

14. Specify the required number of servers.

15. Optional: if you selected an OS for autoinstallation in step 8, configure the IP address by selecting a VLAN:

    • public — the server will be assigned a public IP address from the shared VLAN.
      It will not be possible to change the IP address or add additional IP addresses to the server;

    • dedicated — if you have already ordered a dedicated subnet, you can select the subnet and assign an IP address to the server.

16. Optional: enter a comment for the order. For example, specify hardware connection details or the desired drive installation order. The drive installation order affects the order in which they are detected in the system. By default, drives are installed in the following order: NVMe → SSD → HDD. If a boot drive is not designated during partitioning, the OS will be installed on the drive that is detected first in the system.

17. Optional: on the Additional services tab, view the list of additional services . You can order additional services after the server is delivered.

18. Confirm your agreement with the payment terms.

19. Click Pay now.

20. Review the order details and click Pay. Depending on the selected components, preparing the server for operation may take from one to five business days. Once the server is ready for delivery, you will receive an email notification and will be able to connect to it. The paid period starts from the moment the server is delivered. The server password will be available for viewing for 24 hours after server delivery. If you forget your password, you can reset and recover it.
