\"how<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Note<\/strong> that it is not<\/strong> recommended to restart the VPS as a troubleshooting measure. Many issues can be made harder to find if the server is rebooted, and some of them can even be worse or cause data loss in combination with a server reboot. If you do<\/em> have reason to reboot the server, you should do so only once<\/strong>. If the server does not come back after the reboot, please open a Support Ticket<\/a>. That being said, it would be better to open the ticket before<\/em> (or, more precisely, instead of<\/em>) restarting the VPS. It is always important not to do work in the server while a ticket is open that might interfere with the work being done in the ticket, but it is especially important not to reboot the server during the ticket.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\n <\/i>\n <\/div>\n
If the server is already running, the “BOOT” or “Start” option will be disabled. This is also the case when the server is “Stopped”, with the “SHUTDOWN” option.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n
