VPS Actions

Start, stop, restart and manage your instances.

Available actions

Start — boot a stopped or errored instance
Stop — gracefully shut down a running instance
Restart — reboot a running instance (brief downtime)
Rebuild — reinstall the OS (data is wiped)
Delete — permanently destroy the instance and release its IP

Delete is irreversible. All data on the instance will be permanently lost. Take a snapshot before deleting.

API actions

All instance actions are available via the REST API.
