If you have a Linux dedicated server with us, you may find yourself in a situation where you may need to restart the entire server. We offer you a few ways to perform this. When you first ordered the dedicated server and it was set up, you received a welcome e-mail with the server's login details and its specifications . Along with your other details, there were listed the PDU (Power Distribution Unit) details for your dedicated server. These login details can be used to connect directly to the server KVM in the data center and reboot it remotely. This is the best and most secure way of performing this action. It will guarantee you that the server will be restarted completely and will start normally.

The other way of restarting your dedicated server is by executing a shell command via SSH. To do that, use a shell client like PuTTY, for example. Log in to your server by using your root password that you have received with your welcome e-mail. Please note that if you have changed the server's root password at some point, it will be different from the one in the e-mail. When you are logged in the console of the server with the root password, you can simply restart it by typing the "reboot" command. It should look something like this:

root@server:~# reboot

Please use the shell reboot command with cautiousness. If the server is overloaded or some important services are not operating correctly, rebooting in this way may cause the server to freeze or to not start correctly. In such cases the PDU reboot procedure will solve the problem. Also, if for some reason you are not able to restart your server, you can always contact us with a reboot request and we will be glad to help you out.
