Restarting (rebooting) your VPS can resolve certain issues, apply kernel updates, or clear temporary glitches. There are two ways to do this.
Method 1: Graceful Reboot via SSH (Recommended)
This is the safest method as it attempts to shut down services properly.
-
Log in to your VPS via SSH (see Article 52).
-
Type the following command and press Enter:
reboot -
The system will begin the shutdown process, and your SSH connection will close. Wait a few minutes for the server to come back online.
Method 2: Forceful Reboot via VPS Control Panel
If your server is completely unresponsive (you cannot SSH in), you may need to perform a hard reboot.
-
Log in to your BurjHost Client Area.
-
Go to "Services" > "My Services" and click on your VPS.
-
Look for the VPS Management Panel or "Control Panel" button (sometimes provided by a system like SolusVM or Virtualizor).
-
Find the "Reboot" button and click it. This simulates pressing the power button on a physical machine.
