SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol employed to transfer encoded information between a client and a web server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any data. Many tech-savvy users opt for SSH because of the higher security level. The connection is made and the commands are delivered through a command line. The offered options depend on the type of Internet hosting service - on a shared server, for instance, files may be moved or deleted, databases may be imported and exported, and archives can be set up or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your options are much more - the web server and the database server may be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software may be installed and more. These things are not possible on a shared server, for the reason that full root access is needed and all the other customers on that server will be affected. While SSH is employed largely with UNIX-like OSs, there are SSH clients for other OSs too - Windows, Mac OS, and so on.

SSH Telnet in Web Hosting

When you have a web hosting account with our company and you'd like to deal with your content remotely via SSH, you may obtain SSH access to the account using your Hepsia Control Panel. If your plan doesn't offer this feature by default, you can easily add it with a couple of clicks from the Upgrades menu. Within the SSH section of the Control Panel, you will see the host, the port number and the username which you should use when you connect to the account. You could also choose what password you want to use, since it does not need to be the same as the one for the account. We have prepared many Help articles where you can find all of the commands that you will be able to use with a shared hosting plan, as well as examples of how they are used. Furthermore, if SSH access is permitted for your account, you will be able to establish a Secure FTP (SFTP) connection through a standard client like FileZilla, for instance.

We have a lot of help articles and educational videos regarding the use of SSH commands to manage your account and a whole list of the commands you can carry out alongside several examples to provide you with a better idea of what you can do.

SSH Telnet in VPS Hosting

The virtual private server plans that we offer provide SSH access as standard, not as a paid upgrade or a feature that you have to activate. Once your new server is prepared, you'll be able to connect and begin working on your content using the login details that you've entered throughout the order process. A copy of the SSH credentials shall be sent to you via email too. As your VPS will be isolated from the others on the physical web server, there aren't any limitations regarding what you can or cannot do via SSH. You'll be able to download, install and manage any piece of software that'll run on a Linux hosting server, reboot the entire server or simply a specific software component, and work with files, folders and databases with virtually no restrictions. All you'll require for this is a console or an SSH client on your end.
