Use Start to boot an existing stopped VPS. Starting the server resumes its installed operating system; it does not reinstall software or guarantee that every application starts successfully.

What you need before you begin
Check why the VPS is stopped. Confirm that maintenance is complete and that no administrator intentionally left it offline. A suspended service or a server with a pending platform task may require support action before it can start.
01 Start a stopped Virtualizor VPS
- Sign in to Virtualizor, open List VPS and select the correct VPS using its ID and assigned IP.
- Open Manage and refresh the state. If it already shows running, inspect the console or application instead of issuing another power operation.
- Select Start and submit the confirmation if shown. Wait for the task to finish.
- Open the console to follow boot progress if remote access is not immediately available. Check that the machine is booting from its installed disk rather than an installation ISO.
- Once it is ready, sign in using the appropriate guest credentials and verify the services that should start automatically.
How do I check that the started VPS is usable?
Test an actual website request or other intended application connection, and check the operating-system logs for startup errors. Confirm the server uses the expected hostname, address and storage devices.
Troubleshoot unexpected results
If Start fails with a capacity, storage or platform error, send support the complete message and VPS ID. If the guest starts into an installer or rescue environment, review its boot settings before continuing. Do not proceed through a fresh installation wizard on a server whose existing data you intend to preserve.
