Recovery Reboot

Booting an SSD VPS into recovery mode starts your virtual server using a special rescue environment, allowing you to troubleshoot or repair your system without affecting your main operating system. This mode is useful for tasks such as fixing boot errors, resetting passwords, or recovering important data.
