WHM (Web Host Manager) is a powerful tool that allows administrators to manage their web hosting server efficiently. Among its many features is the ability to reboot a VPS (Virtual Private Server) or a dedicated server remotely. Rebooting a server can be necessary for various reasons, such as applying system updates, resolving performance issues, or troubleshooting system errors.

Step1:

Log in to your WHM account using your administrator credentials.
