[Andryz]

I think restarting of the services is important function of each one VPS hosting account. What are the possible ways to restart the services of my VPS hosting account?

After some time you may need to restart some of the services. The easy way is through WHM functions. Click on that service link under 'Restart Services' from WHM interface which you need to be restarted.
