The Warm Start-up or Soft boot is a normal rebooting process we do every now and then. If you reboot a Server using normal restart process which would considered as a warm boot.

 

Cold Startup - is entirely opposite to the above, when you boot a newly assembled Server or your first power up new server hardware or starting a Server after very long period. This is also known as hard-boot.

There are some differences between a warm and cold booting. A warm boot is what happens when a computer is running and it is restarted(Without Shutdown). A cold boot is when the computer is already off(Shut Down) and the power is turned on. Both can aid in making the computer Machine run more smoothly.
