Seems everything M247, just like other location of HH. With $30, what ever.

Tips for using HostHatch’s broken Panel

Their panel is very buggy, it seems that centos7 and ubuntu are bad, but when I reinstalled to debian10 then all functions are normal
So here’s what I did

1. reinstall to Debian
2. Mount the netboot.xyz
3. reinstall the os you want from ISO

This is only my personal solution, not guaranteed to work
