You don't need command-line skills for the basic VPS tasks: your client area gives you a control panel with all the essential buttons.
How to reach the panel:
- Log in to your client area and open Services → your VPS.
- You'll see the server status (on/off), its IP and the management buttons.
Actions you can do yourself:
- Reboot: a clean restart of the operating system. It's the first thing to try if the VPS is slow or unresponsive.
- Shut down / Power on: stop the server completely or boot it back up.
- Console: a view of the server screen right in your browser, handy if you've locked yourself out over SSH.
- Reinstall: resets the VPS to factory state with the OS you choose. Heads up: this wipes everything on it, so back up first.
A reboot usually takes anywhere from a few seconds to a couple of minutes. If service is still down afterwards, give it a few more minutes in case the system is still starting up.
Button not responding, or the VPS won't come back? Open a ticket telling us what you tried and when; we'll check the node on our end.
