Prefer graceful reboots whenever possible: run sudo shutdown -h now or sudo halt inside Linux (or the equivalent command in Windows), then start the VPS from the Control Panel. This keeps filesystems and services healthy before you resort to a forced power cycle.

​
Restart a Running VPS

1

Open the VPS Control Panel

Sign in to the EDBB Control Panel, go to Services, and select the VPS you want to reboot.
2

Choose Restart

Click the arrow next to the green Server On button and select Restart Server. The VPS powers off and back on in one action.Restart server menu
Restart performs an immediate power cycle at the hypervisor level. If the operating system still responds, run its built-in reboot command first for a graceful shutdown.

​
Stop VPS

1

Navigate to the power controls

From the same dropdown next to Server On, choose Stop Server to shut the VPS down.
2

Wait for the state to change

The service status switches to Stopped once the hypervisor powers it off. Console access ends immediately.Restart server menu

​
Start VPS

1

Press Start Server

Reconnect

Once the status changes to Running, reopen the console or reconnect over SSH/RDP to resume work.
Stop is equivalent to pulling the power cable. Use it only if the guest OS no longer reacts to shutdown or poweroff commands.
