# How to Reboot a Server from WHM

**In short:** Log in to WHM at **https://your-server-IP:2087**, open **System Reboot**, and choose **Graceful Server Reboot** (recommended: stops processes and saves data first). Use **Forceful Server Reboot** only if the graceful reboot doesn't work, as it can cause errors or data loss.

1. Log in to WHM at **https://your-server-IP:2087** (replace your-server-IP with your server's IP address or hostname) with your username and password.

2. On the home page, choose **System Reboot**.

3. You will see two options: **Forceful Server Reboot** and **Graceful Server Reboot**.

## Forceful vs graceful reboot

- **Graceful Server Reboot (recommended):** closes all user processes and saves all data before rebooting. Click **Proceed**.

- **Forceful Server Reboot:** shuts the machine down abruptly and can cause errors and data loss. Use it only if a graceful reboot doesn't work. Click **Proceed**.

A screen then shows that the reboot is in progress. The server is usually back within a few minutes.
