What is the difference between a VPS soft reboot and a hard reboot? What is the use of soft reboot and hard reboot?

After a VPS host has been running for a period of time, it often occurs that the memory is insufficient.

This is because there are a lot of running programs in the VPS system that take up memory.

Restarting our VPS will help close some useless programs in the VPS and release memory, so that the programs needed for business development can run better.

Today, we will give you a brief introduction to netizens and friends, what is the difference between the two, and under what circumstances are they used.

Difference between soft restart and hard restart

Soft restart is equivalent to operating the local computer, clicking start, and then selecting restart. Using soft restart can save some effective data, such as chat records, access records, etc...

The hard restart is equivalent to directly using the reset button next to the power button when using the local computer to directly enter the startup state.

Data that is not saved on the computer will be lost directly, for example, when the local computer is used normally, there is a sudden power failure.

After restarting, you will find that some access records of the browser are not saved, which is one reason.

However, with the development of technology, hard reboots lose less and less data, and even some better machines can do soft reboots without losing data.

Under what circumstances are soft restarts and hard restarts used?

In the process of using VPS for daily business, when the VPS is restarted last time, there will always be more or less applications that have no impact on business development when the running time is long.

At this time, all programs can be closed by soft restart.It will be more efficient to conduct business development after the restart.

Hard reboot is generally used to directly enter the system reboot state when the system fails to run after a system crash, or when a soft reboot fails to reboot for a long time.
