It is not a good idea to reboot the server. You should investigate what causes this problem and try to fix it.

find the reason to the lockups instead of rebooting ... You shouldn't need to reboot it every 5 hours.
What if it locks up 1 hour after last reboot ? No one would be able to visit your site for another 4 hours ...

@Uzair Umer

What are you current vps specs?

Are you running a control panel on your vps (cpanel,etc)?

What web server are you using?

How much traffic does your site get daily?
