How do I Start, stop or restart my VPS from the Control Panel?
The Control Panel provides a way to start, stop, or restart a VPS easily. Starting or restarting a VPS will allow processes, applications, and programs to run. Stopping a VPS will not allow any user access and disable all processes, applications, and programs.
To start, stop, or restart your VPS from the Control Panel, please follow these steps:
- Open a browser window and go to www.HostMySite.com
- Click on Control Panel Login.
- Log into the Control Panel as the Account Administrator and select the appropriate domain.
- Click VPS Manager and select VPS Status.
- In the 'VPS Status Screen', your virtual server's status is displayed as either 'RUNNING' or 'DOWN'. Depending on the status of your server, you have the following options:
- Start: Clicking this selection will start your server, allowing processes and applications/programs to run
- Stop: Clicking this selection will stop your server, halting all processes and applications/programs
- Restart: Clicking this selection will reboot your server
