How to Start, Stop, Restart, and Reboot Your Cloud VPS?<\/h1>\n

Introduction<\/h2>\n

Managing your Cloud VPS often requires performing power actions such as starting, stopping, restarting, or rebooting the server. Whether you’re applying system updates, troubleshooting an issue, or bringing an instance back online, these actions can be performed directly from the AccuWeb.Cloud panel in just a few clicks.<\/span><\/p>\n

This guide explains what each action does and how to perform it from the AccuWeb.Cloud panel.<\/span><\/p>\n

Understanding Power Actions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Action<\/b><\/td>\nDescription<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Start<\/b><\/td>\nPowers on a stopped VPS.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Stop<\/b><\/td>\nGracefully shuts down the VPS.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Reboot<\/b><\/td>\nPerforms a complete power cycle by turning the VPS off and back on. This is useful if the server becomes unresponsive.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Note:<\/b> The available actions may vary depending on the current state of your VPS. For example, the <\/span>Start<\/b> option is only available when the instance is stopped.<\/span><\/p>\n
