VPS & SSH

Start, stop, and reboot your VPS

Power your virtual server on and off, reboot it, and check its status — all from your portal.

What this covers

You control your VPS power state directly from the portal. Start, stop, and reboot run on demand, and the portal shows the current state and the result of your last action. Resizing CPU, RAM, and disk is self-serve too (see 'Resize your VPS'); rebuild, snapshots, and firewall changes are handled with support so your data stays safe.

Before you start

Save your work — a stop or reboot briefly takes your services offline — and have SSH access ready to reconnect afterward.

How to do it

  1. Open your portal, go to Services, and select your VPS to see its current state and recent activity.
  2. Use Start when the VM is stopped. If it's already running, the portal records a safe no-op.
  3. Use Reboot to restart the operating system, then wait a minute or two before reconnecting over SSH.
  4. Use Stop to power the VM down; start it again anytime from the same page.
  5. To change resources, use Resize (see 'Resize your VPS'). For rebuild, snapshots, or firewall changes, contact support so downtime and data are handled safely.

What our team checks

Support helps with rebuild, snapshots, and firewall changes, and can advise on downtime, backup state, and the right resource size.

Next step

Open Services, then your VPS, to start, stop, or reboot — or use Resize to change CPU, RAM, and disk.
