# DigitalOcean control panel: power off / power cycle a Droplet

## Steps
1. Click the Droplet's name to open its detail page.
2. Click Actions.
3. Select Turn off (hard power-off, similar to cutting power) or Power Cycle (power off, then on).
4. To power back on afterward, click Turn On Droplet on the detail page.

## End state
The Droplet's power state changes as selected; Turn off can cause filesystem issues since it isn't a graceful shutdown (Reboot is the graceful equivalent of running the reboot command from the console).
