You should definately close the server when stopping the server, and open it
when starting the service.  As for pausing, that is your own choice,
especially since you choose whether you want the service to support pausing
in the first place.

The main problem with closing the server is that it will automatically
disconnect all clients who are already connected to the server  If you want
to support pausing, one option would be to simply prevent pausing while
there are connected clients, or at least while critical operations are in
progress.

Don't close the server.
