This is good enough for users who don\u2019t audit system logs to investigate the matter. Usually, the <em>best solution<\/em> is to investigate running processes and better secure the system. With server hosting, this is especially important because it\u2019s always online and you can\u2019t disconnect it from the internet to work on it locally.

There are times when this is necessary. It shouldn\u2019t be often, though. Below we\u2019ll cover:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"#not\">When Should You Not Restart a Linux Server?<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#slow\">Your Website or Email Doesn\u2019t Work Correctly<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#install\">You Installed Something<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#because\">The Server Hasn\u2019t Been Restarted in Awhile<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"#do\">When Should I Stop or Restart a Linux Server?<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#critical\">Critical Updates<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#test\">Test Server Restart Feature<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#vpc\">Save Money with a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"#how\">How to Restart a Linux Server<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#amp\">How to Restart Your VPS in AMP<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#whm\">How to Restart Your Linux Server in WHM<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#cli\">How to Restart Your Linux Server via SSH<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"not\"><strong>When Should You Not Restart a Linux Server?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When a server is in use, there are always disk writes to a database, server log, or application. You may already know not to halt a system during an SSH connection with activity. Whatever you\u2019re doing in the server terminal will end abruptly unless you started the process with <code>screen<\/code> or <code>tmux<\/code>. Here are other specific cases where you <strong>DO NOT<\/strong> want to restart your server immediately, and what you should do instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"slow\">Your Website or Email Doesn\u2019t Work Correctly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Each popular content management system (CMS) has <em>common<\/em> errors, hopefully with well documented solutions. Performance demands climb every year with new technologies like <strong>HTTP\/3<\/strong> and <strong>NVMe drives<\/strong>. And of course, cyber attacks are always on the rise. Any of these situations can affect website and server performance. Instead of restarting your server, check if:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Your website loads properly on another device and for other countries with web apps like GeoPeeker and ShotSherpa<\/li><li>Your hosting provider has noted outage issues<\/li><li>You\u2019re receiving a lot of orders from your eCommerce store<\/li><li>Your web analytics application or social media indicates posts that may be <em>viral<\/em><\/li><li>Error logs indicate database, misconfiguration, denial of service (DoS), or other malicious issues<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If this is a constant issue, consider one or more of the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Caching integrations for your CMS (e.g. <abbr title=\"W3 Total Cache\">W3TC<\/abbr> WordPress plugin and Drupal native caching options)<\/li><li>Server caching (e.g. NGINX)<\/li><li>A content delivery network (CDN) and web application firewall (WAF) solution such as Cloudflare and Sucuri<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When you have email issues, usually you receive some type of bounceback error. Restarting the server won\u2019t fix those errors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check your email client settings if you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/email\/problems-sending-email-receiving-is-fine\/\">can\u2019t send email<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check local firewall settings if you can\u2019t send email while using a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/email\/cant-send-email-with-vpn-connected\/\">virtual private network (VPN)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your emails deliver to spam \/ junk folders, improve your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/email\/strengthen-overall-email-authentication\/\">email authentication settings<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"install\">You Installed Something<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many installation guides for server level software instruct you to \u201crestart your VPS\u201d at some point. Popular examples include Apache modules, new PHP versions, and SSH port changes. Most times, you only need to restart the <strong>web server application<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apache:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">systemctl restart apache2<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>NGINX:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">systemctl nginx restart<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>WebHost Manager (WHM) can do this as well under <em>Restart Services<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"because\">The Server Hasn\u2019t Been Restarted in Awhile<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Going back to restarting PCs, Linux servers normally have log optimization methods already in place to save disk space. Usually, it\u2019s compressing older logs in tar files and deleting them after a certain amount of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"do\"><strong>When Should I Stop or Restart a Linux Server?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common situations when you <strong>DO<\/strong> want to restart your server:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"critical\">Critical Updates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some major update, installation, and uninstallation processes <strong>require<\/strong> rebooting the server. Read the instructions carefully to ensure it states to restart the server instead of just the web server application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"test\">Test Server Restart Feature<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You should be sure that all installed applications will start without issue after a reboot. You don\u2019t know when you or your hosting provider may need to apply critical updates which require a reboot while you\u2019re sleeping.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For VPS administrators, if your hosting provider starts disaster recovery procedures for their cloud infrastructure, your virtual server may be restarted as part of a node. Remember, a VPS or cloud server (cloud VPS) shares a physical server with other customers. In some instances, you may have a temporary issue due to something outside of your control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"vpc\">Save Money with a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike a VPS, a <strong>virtual private cloud (VPC)<\/strong> can expand to meet peaking resource demands and is pay-per-usage in seconds\/hours online instead of a monthly subscription. If you don\u2019t need your VPC on, shut it off. But ensure installed applications will start correctly before doing so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how\">How to Restart a Linux Server<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Managed VPS, Cloud Server, and Dedicated Server hosting customers can restart your Linux server in <abbr title=\"Account Management Panel\">AMP<\/abbr>, WHM, or SSH. Remember, rebooting the server restarts Apache, MySQL, and email as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alert alert-warning\"><strong>You can\u2019t restart a shared server<\/strong> because you don\u2019t have a virtual system and root access. You have a cPanel account on a shared physical server. Shared servers rarely need to be restarted unless our system administrators see an issue requiring it. If you have website issues which you believe result from the server, contact technical support for further assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"amp\">How to Restart Your VPS in AMP<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You do not need root access for this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"article_list wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/amp\/how-to-log-into-amp\/\">Log into AMP<\/a>.<\/li><li>Locate the server hosting account and select <strong>Restart VPS<\/strong>.<\/li><li>Read the warnings.
