What should I do if my VPS is slow or unreachable?
First decide whether the whole server is unreachable or only one website or service is affected. Record the exact error and the time it began.
- Check the VPS status in Account Manager and use only the controls currently available for the service.
- Confirm the hostname or IP address and test from another network or device.
- If you can connect, check disk space, memory, CPU use, running services, recent updates, and system logs.
- Review recent firewall, DNS, web-server, application, or database changes.
- Avoid repeated restarts until you have recorded the error and current state.
If the problem continues, open a Help Center ticket with the affected hostname, exact error, start time, and recent changes. Do not include the root password, private keys, or other secrets.
