Power Cycle or Reboot a VPS

You trigger a power-cycle or reboot of your VPS in the KVM management portal.

Both the Shutdown and Reboot actions terminate the hypervisor process managing your VPS, while a Reboot initiates a fresh start of your virtual machine with a new hypervisor process right after the process has ended.

Alternatively, you can trigger a "shutdown -h now" or "halt" at the command prompt of your OS, followed by a "power on" through the KVM management portal. This should be the preferred way to cleanly shutdown/reboot your system.
