What happens when I am running an EA on a Metatrader VPS and I stop the VPS, then restart the VPS

When I stop the VPS with an EA running on it, will the EA not continue to execute?

And when I restart the VPS, will the EA continue to run at that time or do I need to do it manually in the local MT5 PC app and migrate back to the VPS for the EA to be activated?

MQL5 VPS- can I disable temporarily already migrated EA's by using stop button on the vps page- or do i have to remigrate with EA's removed

Yes, you can use the stop/start option of your MQL5 VPS to pause your EAs temporarily.

VPS stop button

Yes, the Stop option will remove your EAs and indicators from MQL5 VPS, resulting in pausing/suspending your trading with them.

The Start option that you will see afterwards will reload your EAs and indicators automatically, resuming your trading.

So when I restart VPS, EA will be reactive again with the same setfile settings as I set before stopping the vps right?

Yes, the previously loaded setup will resume again.
