### Vultr
[Vultr](http://www.vultr.com/?ref=6870843) has some great support for using
netboot.xyz right out of the box.
### Boot from ISO
Once you've logged into the console, select ISOs. In the remote URLs box,
enter in the URL of a netboot.xyz DHCP ISO and press upload:
https://boot.netboot.xyz/ipxe/netboot.xyz-dhcp.iso
Go back to the main console screen and press "Deploy New Instance". Follow
these steps:
* Select _Custom_ for the operating system
* Select the ISO you uploaded
* Click _Place Order_
The instance should be online in a few minutes. Once it's online, go to the
main account page that lists all of your instances. Click _Manage_ next to the
instance you just launched, and then click _View Console_ under
_Server Actions_. When the console appears, you should see the netboot.xyz
iPXE menu.
When you've completed the OS installation, select _Custom ISO_ from the Server
Manager page and click _Remove ISO_. The ISO will be removed from your
instance and it will reboot.
### Boot from iPXE Chain URL
Using an iPXE chain url may be easier for some users. Follow these steps:
* Click _Deploy New Instance_
* Select _Custom_ for the operating system
* Select _iPXE_ in the Virtual ISO section
* Set the chain URL to `https://boot.netboot.xyz`
* Click _Place Order_
The instance will boot within a few minutes. Once it boots, you'll have five
minutes to launch a console and choose an option from the netboot.xyz menu:
* Go back to your account home page with your instances listed
* Click _Manage_ next to the instance you just launched
* Click _View Console_ in the _Server Actions_ section
* Choose the OS you want to deploy in the netboot.xyz menu
* Complete the OS installation
Once you've finished the installation, reboot the instance as you normally
would. Vultr will automatically reboot your virtual machine into the OS you
deployed.
