How to restart and manage services

~1 min read

The Services page lets you start, stop, and restart Nginx, PHP-FPM, MySQL, Redis, and other services without SSH.

Steps

1
Open Services
Open your server and click "Services" in the sidebar.
2
Check service status
The list shows all running services with their status (running, stopped, or failed) and current memory usage.
3
Restart a service
Click "Restart" next to a service to restart it. Use this after editing a service's config file — for example, restart Nginx after editing a virtual host.
4
Stop or start a service
Click "Stop" to shut down a service, or "Start" to bring it back up. Use this for controlled maintenance, not regular operation.

Watch out

Stopping MySQL while an application is running will take the site down immediately. Plan maintenance operations for off-peak hours.

Tips

After editing any Nginx config file (virtual host, SSL settings), always restart Nginx from this page.
If Nginx shows "failed", check the application's error log — a syntax error in a vhost config is the most common cause.
PHP-FPM restart is needed when you change PHP.ini settings or switch a PHP version manually.
