THE IMAGE IS THE BEGINNING

Make the first
hour count.

Update the system, add your access key, set deliberate firewall rules and create a recovery point before the application becomes critical.

Follow the first-server guide
Can I change the image after deployment?

Yes, through a reinstall. Reinstalling replaces the system disk and its contents. Take an independent backup, confirm the target service and plan how to restore your application first.

Does an available image mean upstream support is current?

No. The catalog includes compatibility images and older releases. Availability is separate from vendor security support. Review the exact release lifecycle and any extended-support requirements before using it in production.

Are control panels included?

The configurator offers several installation choices. Commercial control-panel licenses are excluded where stated. Confirm that the selected panel supports your chosen operating system.

Can I use my own configuration?

Yes. You have root access and can provision the software you need. Use public SSH keys, version-controlled configuration without secrets and a recovery plan you can repeat.
