Introduction

Powering up a cloud instance is a routine task in managing virtual infrastructure. Instances may be stopped for maintenance, to conserve resources, or due to billing limits. The Customer Portal offers a convenient interface to manage these actions without needing technical support.

This guide explains how to power up a cloud instance using the NovaCloud > Cloud Instances/GPU Instances section in the IP ServerOne Customer Portal. This function is commonly used in VPS and cloud hosting environments for restoring services such as websites, applications, or development environments.

Before powering up, it is essential to verify that the instance is in a Stopped state. Once started, the instance transitions to Running, making it ready for use again. This process helps reduce downtime and ensures services are brought back online efficiently.

Prerequisites

• Active access to the IP ServerOne Customer Portal.
• A cloud instance that is currently in a Stopped state.
