Secure Shell, commonly known as SSH, is a cryptographic network protocol that is used to execute commands on a remote machine or to exchange information between a server and a client. Because the information exchanged by the 2 sides is encoded, a 3rd party cannot intercept it, which makes SSH a favorite means of handling a web hosting account. The commands which can be executed are determined by the type of hosting service. On a shared hosting server, in particular, the possibilities are limited since you will not have root access to the website hosting server, so you could simply create/move/delete files, create and unpack archives, export and import databases, and so forth. They are all actions which are performed within the shared hosting account and don't require a higher level of access. Through a virtual or a dedicated server, you'll have the option to install server-side software or to restart the machine or only a particular service (web server, database server, etc.). SSH commands are submitted via a command line, and if you don't employ a UNIX-like OS, there are plenty of applications for other OSs, you can use to connect to the remote hosting server as well.

If not, you may add it using the Add Services/Upgrades section of your Control Panel and enable it right away. You will find all the information which you need in the SSH section of the CP - the host, the port number and the username which you have to use, as well as thorough Help articles in which we've listed all of the commands that you can use in the account and examples of the syntax which you have use. The SSH password can be modified from the exact same section at any time with a couple of clicks. Assuming that SSH access is enabled, you will also be able to connect safely and securely through an FTP client as well. With an SFTP connection, all the files which you upload will go through an encrypted connection.

SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All our semi-dedicated server accounts provide you with the possibility to access and control them using SSH. If the plan that you have selected includes this feature by default, you simply need to enable the SSH access feature through the corresponding section of the Hepsia Control Panel. If the feature is listed as an additional upgrade, you could quickly add it through the Add Services/Upgrades link in the Hepsia CP and it shall be available within a minute. We have a variety of help articles and video tutorials regarding the use of SSH commands to handle your account and a full list of the commands you can carry out together with several examples to provide you with a better idea of what you could do. If SSH is enabled, you will also be able to establish an SFTP connection to the account and to upload files safely through any FTP application that supports the feature.

SSH Telnet in VPS Web Hosting

The virtual private server plans which we offer include SSH access by default, not as an additional upgrade or a feature that you have to enable. The minute your new server is prepared, you will be able to connect and begin working on your content using the login details that you've entered during the order procedure. A copy of the SSH credentials will be sent to you via e mail as well. Since your VPS shall be isolated from the others on the physical web server, there aren't any limitations as to what you can or cannot do through SSH. You may download, install and manage any piece of software that'll run on a Linux machine, reboot the whole server or simply a particular software component, and work with files, folders and databases with virtually no restrictions. All you will require for that is a console or an SSH client on your end.
