With all Virtual Private Server solutions any reboot commands must be issued from the VPS Control Panel. Reboots issued via SSH (i.e. "shutdown -r now") or issued via WHM (i.e. "Forceful Server Reboot" or "Graceful Server Reboot") will result in the server shutting down and not coming back online and this is simply due to the nature of the VPS container.
If you have rebooted your VPS from inside of SSH or WHM you can easily fix this issue by logging into the VPS Control Panel and booting the server back up.
