How to Start, Stop, or Restart a Server
How to Start, Stop, or Restart a Server
- Go to your server's detail page.
- Use the power control buttons:
- Power On — starts a stopped server.
- Force Stop — immediately powers down the server (like pulling the plug).
- Reboot — restarts the server (warm restart).
- Graceful Shutdown — sends a shutdown signal to the OS for a clean shutdown.
- A confirmation message will appear after the action is submitted.
Warning: Force Stop does not give the OS time to shut down cleanly. Use Graceful Shutdown when possible.
