How to restart a service on my dedicated server?

If you are availing managed dedicated server hosting service from a reliable service provider, such issues are taken care by their management process. They employ a monitoring team that regularly monitors your server round-the-clock and provides instant back-up support in case the service fails, including HTTP web traffic, MySQL databases, POP, FTP, and the list goes on. The vendors are skilled at creating customized monitoring set-ups if you want them to monitor your critical applications.

However, if the server is not managed by a service provider, by following the below mentioned steps you can easily restart services on your dedicated server:

Step 1: Log in to WHM control panel

Step 2: Look for "Restart Services" option on the left side menu

Step 3: In the mentioned section, you will find the following list of services -

- FTP Server
- SQL Server
- DNS Server (NSD/Bind)
- SSH Server
- HTTP Server
- Mail Server
- IMAP Server
- POP3 Server

Simply click on the service you wish to restart

Step 4: Click on the "Reset" button and wait until the services have been successfully reset
