I've been wondering this for a time, and just wanted to see if anyone have any good info.
So lets start of saying that we talk dedicated servers with software raid setup and automated OS reinstalls.
I've been with some server resellers and almost all offer OS reinstalls thru their client area.
Usually resellers have the option to choose any raid included with the server when making an order.
But then we come to the client area where we can reinstall our server when needed.
Usually, there is only one thing to choose on this page, and its the OS we would like, for example, Ubuntu 16.04.
What happens when we make this reinstall, is that the server will come reinstalled but with no raid at all.
So if we would like a reinstall to, say with raid 0, as we first ordered the server with, then we need to make a support ticket.
This might not be any strange but I feel its pretty annoying when I usually would like raid 0 on my server and everytime I would do a reinstall, it must go thru the support tickets, when there usually is an automated os reinstall available..
Is it hard for resellers/providers to make a OS reinstall function that can let you choose both OS and any software raid??
But, I did actually found one where this exist, and it is with eqservers.com, where their reinstall page looked like this:

This is exactly what im talking about, this is how I would like all server resellers to have.
The bad thing with eqserver when i tested this some week ago, it doesnt work at all, nothing happens.
Again it had to go thru the ticket system and there were some hours of waiting time to get my server reinstalled.
Maybe its just some issues they have with it. Where i dont hope they have it like that just to look good..
So why have not all reseller this function? (Where they offers raid setup when order but not with reinstall)
Do you even know anyone more except eqservers who have this function? (Well, where it works too)
Thanks
