Restart a Dedicated or VPS Server.
Overview
This article will explain how to restart your Dedicated or VPS server.
Note: When possible, its best to restart only the service having issues on your server instead of restarting the entire server.

Restarting the Server
The server can be easily restarted from your HostMonster account.
