Below is a detailed explanation of each function available in the panel.

Reboot: This option allows you to restart your VPS. This can be useful if the server is unresponsive or if you need to apply certain updates.

Shutdown: This button lets you power down your VPS safely. Use this if you want to completely stop the server and turn it off.

Boot: This option is used to start the VPS if it is currently powered off.

Reinstall: This allows you to reinstall the operating system on your VPS. This can be helpful if you need to start fresh or fix major issues, but it will erase all existing data on the VPS.

Power Off: This is used to forcibly power off the VPS, similar to unplugging a computer. It's not recommended unless the server is unresponsive and won't shut down properly.

Reconfigure Networking: This option allows you to reconfigure the network settings for your VPS. This is helpful if you have made changes to the network configuration or if there are network issues.

Rescue: This feature allows you to boot the VPS into a rescue mode, which can be used to fix critical issues, recover data, or perform other maintenance tasks when the server isn't functioning properly.

VNC: This opens a Virtual Network Computing (VNC) session, allowing you to remotely access and control your VPS as if you were physically at the server.

Log: This option provides access to the system logs, which can help you troubleshoot issues by providing detailed information about the server's activity and any errors that may have occurred.

If you encounter any issues with your Minecraft server, we highly recommend contacting our technical support team before making any changes or using the functions below. Misuse of these controls could result in data loss or downtime for your server. You can contact our technical support here.
