Once you have your own server, you can of course upload whatever you want. But you're probably asking about booting from an ISO image. As a few other people have said, Hetzner offers a "boot from rescue image" service which apparently lets you boot from an uploaded ISO. I never tried this on my own Hetzner server though.
If you're hardcore, you can also do what a friend of mine did: Use the provided Linux system (Debian, Ubuntu, there's a bunch of choices) to fiddle its own boot loader, possibly re-partition the disk, upload your favorite system and reboot into that. You're root, you can do what the hell you want; at worst you might end up bricking your system to the point where you need to re-install from the rescue system.
- romanovcode 9y agoThe reason I ask is that I have some specific Windows software and I would like to upload Windows ISO with VirtIO drivers and use my own cd-key instead of paying additional 16 EUR per month for a license that I already have.
- jlgaddis 9y agoPer their FAQ, you can do that.
- romanovcode 9y agoNope, just checked - you can't.
