How to Reboot a VPS/Dedicated Server via WHM

The most expensive and perform best are dedicated and VPS servers. However, it is a machine and needs to be maintained on a regular basis. Rebooting requires you to restart the server after maintenance. Using the WHM interface, you can restart your dedicated server or VPN hosting whenever it is convenient for you.

Restarting the server may sometimes be necessary for other reasons, such as software installation or setup. However, we advise against rebooting your server frequently as this may lead to further issues. Instead, only restart your server when absolutely necessary.

To Reboot VPS/Dedicated Server

1. Log into your WHM panel’s root account.

2. Search and select the System Reboot option from the navigation menu.

There are two options that you can choose from, Graceful Server Reboot and Forceful Server Reboot.

In severe emergencies like a hacker attack, you should choose Forceful Server Reboot. It will instantly reboot the server without closing the running applications. But, it carries a risk of the corruption of the application files due to forceful termination.

Otherwise, we recommend you choose the Graceful Server Reboot as it will allow the running processes to complete before closing. Although the process takes time, it is the safer choice of the two.
