How do I reboot or reinstall my VPS? Print

  • 0

Both actions live in the VPS control panel in your client area.

  1. To reboot cleanly, log in over SSH and run sudo reboot. If the server is unresponsive, use the Reboot button in the control panel to force a power cycle.
  2. To reinstall, open the control panel, choose Reinstall (or Rebuild), pick your operating system template, and confirm.

Warning: a reinstall wipes the entire disk and gives you a fresh OS, so back up any data and configs first. After reinstalling, you'll get a new root password (often emailed or shown on screen) and will need to reconfigure your software. On unmanaged plans this is your responsibility; managed customers can open a ticket for help.
