Services

Overview​

Services are the main processes running on your server. These processes are executed by the key services we use on the server, Like Web Server (Apache, Nginx, OLS), Redis, SSH, MySQL, Postfix, UFW (Firewall) and the PHP versions you install. During server installation, ServerAvatar now installs only one default PHP version; any additional supported PHP versions can be installed later from the Services page using the Install button in the PHP row.

Available Actions​

Each service supports these primary actions:

  • Start: Start a service if it is currently “stopped”.
  • Stop: Stop a service if you don’t want to use it (It will save RAM and CPU).
  • Restart: Restart the service after making changes to the configuration.
  • Install PHP: Add additional PHP-FPM versions directly from the Services table whenever you need them.
