3. Start, Stop, Reboot, Renew VPS

* "Start" means turning on the virtual server, making it operational and accessible over the network. It powers up the VPS so it can perform its functions.

* "Reboot" is like restarting a physical computer. The VPS shuts down briefly and then restarts, clearing temporary issues and ensuring all software runs smoothly. This is often done to fix minor problems or apply updates. During reboot, the server is unavailable—usually under 10 seconds for a VPS and up to 3 minutes for a dedicated server.

* "Stop" means shutting down the virtual server, turning off the VPS and freeing its resources. This causes downtime until you start it again. Stopping the server doesn’t pause your subscription, as the hardware remains allocated to your VPS.

* "Renew Service" means prepaying for the next service period for peace of mind.
