 +====How can I upload my own ISO to the Stallion and install it on my VPS?====
 +If an OS you want isn't on the Templates section you are able to upload your own ISO's.
 +
 +To do this:
 +  - Go to Stallion
 +  - Go to your VM
 +  - Click on the "CD-ROM" section
 +  - Click "Upload ISO"
 +  - Put the direct link of ISO you want to upload (ex: example.com/debian-10.iso/)
 +  - Click Upload. 
 +  - Once the ISO is uploaded it will show up on the "Uploaded ISO's" list
 +  - Click on "Mount ISO" on the ISO you want to mount to your VM.
 +  - Now go to the "Settings" tab and head over to "KVM Settings".
 +  - Click on "Boot Order" and click on "(1) CDROM (2) Hard disk" and click "Save Changes"
 +  - Power off and power on your VM.
 +  - Since you will not have SSH or RDP access, you will need to access the VM using the VNC Option. You can either choose the "Web Based Console" or use your own VNC client by clicking "Direct VNC connection" and copying the details.
 +  - After you installed the operating system from the ISO image head over to "CD-ROM" and click "Eject CD-ROM".
 +  - Head over to Settings tab, go to the KVM settings and change the boot order from "(1) CDROM (2) Hard disk" back to "(1) Hard Disk (2) CDROM" so your VM doesn't attempt to boot to the CDROM.
