Indeed.

Xitami will automatically reload its config file when it can, however
it cannot reload its vhost config dynamically, and for this you need
to stop/restart it.  Using the WBA interface is equivalent to doing a
stop/start.

Yes, to do this remotely, you could use the /admin interface and
'click' on the restart button.
