Manage VDS server operation

Last update:

You can manage VDS server operation:

If a VDS server is powered off, it continues to be billed, as resources remain assigned to it: a local storage volume, a public IP address. To stop billing, delete the server. Read more about the VDS server payment model in the VDS server payment model and prices guide.

Turn off the server

When turning off the server, the operating system shuts down correctly. Power will then be turned off.

If the server does not respond within a certain time, it will be shut down forcibly. In case of a forced shutdown, unsaved data may be lost.

  1. In the Control panel, on the top menu, click Products and select VDS servers.

  2. In the server's menu, select Turn off.

Turn on the server

When turned on, the operating system boots and volumes are connected.

  1. In the Control panel, on the top menu, click Products and select VDS servers.

  2. In the server's menu, select Turn on.

Rebuild the server

carefully

When you rebuild the server, all data on the local disk is deleted; the IP address remains the same.

Rebuilding reinstalls the operating system on the server. Use this if you need to start with a clean OS or if the root password has been lost.

  1. In the Control panel, on the top menu, click Products and select VDS servers.

  2. In the server's menu, select Rebuild server.

  3. Save the new password. You can copy it by clicking next to the password.

  4. Enter the server name to confirm the rebuild.

  5. Click Rebuild.
