Manage your VPS: restart, stop, rebuild and snapshots

A VPS gives you full control, and you manage it yourself from the control panel. You do not need to contact us to power it on or off: the day-to-day actions are at your fingertips.

Start, stop and restart

You can power your server on or off and restart it whenever you need to, for example after configuration changes or to clear a stuck process. It is the digital equivalent of the power button, without waiting on anyone.

Rebuild (reinstall)

A rebuild reinstalls the operating system from scratch, giving you a clean server. Handy to start over or switch OS. Important: a rebuild wipes the disk, so back up anything you want to keep first.

Snapshots

A snapshot captures the state of your server at a point in time. Take one before a risky change, and you can roll back if something goes wrong. Snapshots are a quick safety net next to proper backups.

Frequently asked questions

Does a rebuild delete my data? Yes, it reinstalls the OS and wipes the disk. Back up first.

What is the difference between a snapshot and a backup? A snapshot is a quick point-in-time image for fast rollback; a backup is your longer-term safety copy.

Do I have root access? Yes, a VPS gives you full root control. Need a hand? We are here to help.
