Step 3: Initiate the reboot from client area.

After you have selected the VPS instance it is pretty easy to spot the button “Reboot” on the right side under the server details.

Now that you have clicked on the button the server will go into the reboot mode and in the dashboard you will see the server status change. Wait for the reboot to finish ( most of the time it takes couple of minutes) than click on the button refresh next to the server status. If it states “Active” it means that the server rebooted properly and that you can try to login into your server using the console and credentials provided.

In rare occasions it can happen that even after applying the reboot the server still does not work properly (not reachable, non-active or malfunctioning in some other manner) in that case you should follow the instructions from this article.
