Secure Shell, also known as SSH, is a cryptographic network protocol that is used to execute commands on a remote web server or to exchange info between a hosting server and a client. As the information exchanged by the 2 sides is encoded, a 3rd party simply cannot intercept it, which makes SSH a favorite means of controlling a web hosting account. The commands that could be executed are determined by the type of hosting service. On a shared web server, for example, the choices are limited since you simply won't have root access to the machine, so you could simply create/move/delete files, create and unpack archives, import and export databases, and so forth. These are all actions that are carried out in the shared hosting account and do not need a higher level of access. With a virtual or a dedicated server, you shall be able to install server-side software or to restart the machine or only a particular service (web server, database server, etc.). SSH commands are submitted with a command line, but if you don't employ a UNIX-like OS, there are a number of apps for other OSs, which you can employ to connect to the remote server as well.

SSH Telnet in Hosting

SSH access is offered with all hosting that we offer. With some of them, it's offered by default, while with others it's an additional upgrade that you can include with a couple of mouse clicks in your website hosting Control Panel. You can get SSH access through the section related to it in which you can also find the information which you need to connect - the host, the port number and the username. You can choose the password that you will use and, if necessary, you'll be able to modify it with a few clicks from the same spot. All commands which may be used with our shared plans are listed within a help article along with relevant instances. If the SSH access feature is permitted for your account, you will also be able to upload files using your favorite FTP client via an SFTP connection.

SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You will be able to connect to your semi-dedicated server account through SSH regardless of which package you select when you sign up. With some packages, the function is included as standard, while with others, it can be included as an optional upgrade for as long as you need it. You will find the needed login info within the Hepsia Control Panel, included with all accounts - the host/server name, the port number and the login name. You can choose the password you'll use and if you want to, you could change it all the time with a few mouse clicks for even better security. You shall be able to see all the commands which you can use upfront, as we've listed them all alongside examples of how they are used so as to execute a particular task. The moment SSH access to your semi-dedicated server account is enabled, you shall be able to use an FTP program and establish an SFTP connection.

SSH Telnet in VPS Web Hosting

The virtual private server solutions which we offer include SSH access as standard, not as a paid upgrade or a feature which you should activate. The minute your new server is ready, you'll be able to connect and begin working on your content via the login details that you have entered throughout the order process. A copy of the SSH credentials shall be sent to you via e-mail too. As your VPS will be isolated from the others on the physical server, there are no limitations in regards to what you can or can't do using SSH. You could download, set up and manage any piece of software which will run on a Linux hosting server, reboot the entire server or just a particular software component, and work with files, folders and databases with virtually no restrictions. All you'll need for this is a console or an SSH client on your end.
