Control server status

Foreword

This article shows you step-by-step how to shut down, start or restart your server.

Prerequisites

V-Server

Control via the customer center

The server can be controlled via our Customer Center. To do this, you need to log in to the Customer Center at account.creoline.com. To do this, navigate to the server overview and select the server you want to control via the customer center.

To restart the server, navigate to the server settings of the respective server and select Shut down server.

Server settings - Restart server

In the following window, the desired action can be defined under Action.

Restart server

To shut down the server properly and then restart it directly, select the Restart action and confirm this using the Execute action button.

Reset server

The Reset action switches the server off directly without a proper shutdown and then restarts it.

This can lead to data loss, which is why the option should be used with caution.

Shut down server

The Shutdown action shuts down the server properly.

Please note that shutting down the server will continue to incur the full costs. If you wish to save costs, it is necessary to cancel the entire server.

Switch off server immediately

The Switch off immediately action switches the server off directly, which means that it is not shut down properly.

This can lead to data loss, which is why the option should be used with caution.

Start server

To start the server again from the switched-off state, select the item Start server in the settings of the respective server.

Server settings - Start server

Control via SSH console

Control via the console using an SSH connection is also possible; SSH access is required for this.

Shutdown

To shut down the server via SSH command, execute the following command in the SSH console:

shutdown now

Reboot

To restart the server quickly via SSH command, execute the following command in the SSH console:

reboot

Start

The server cannot be started via console, as no connection can be established once the server has been shut down. Please use our customer center to start the server.
