SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol that's used to exchange protected information between a client and a website hosting server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any data. Many tech-savvy users prefer SSH because of the improved security level. The connection is established and the commands are delivered via a command line. The accessible options depend on the type of hosting service - on a shared server, for example, files may be moved or deleted, databases could be imported and exported, and archives can be set up or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your choices are a lot more - the web server and the database server can be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software can be set up and more. These things are not possible on a shared server, because full root access is required and all the other clients on that server will be affected. Although SSH is employed largely with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so forth.

SSH Telnet in Shared Hosting

SSH access could be permitted with a click from the Hepsia Control Panel if the Linux shared package you have selected comes with this function as standard. If not, you could add it using the Add Services/Upgrades section of your Control Panel and enable it at once. You'll discover all the information you need within the SSH section of the Control Panel - the host, the port number and the username which you have to use, along with detailed Help articles where we've listed all the commands you can use inside the account and examples of the syntax which you have use. The SSH password could be modified from the very same section anytime with a few clicks. As long as SSH access is enabled, you shall also be able to connect safely through an FTP client too. With an SFTP connection, all the files you upload shall go through an encrypted connection.

SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you shall be able to get SSH access to it with a mouse click from the corresponding section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all accounts. If your plan doesn't support this function by default, you will be able to include it easily via the Upgrades menu. As soon as you go to the SSH section, you shall find the details that you need to connect to the server using a command line or a desktop application - the server/host, the port number, the username and the password. The latter can be updated at any time, if necessary. These login credentials are also required if you would like to upload files through a secure connection and you wish to use SFTP, which is also part of the SSH access service which we provide. A thorough list of the commands that you can carry out will offer you a better idea of what tasks you may perform in your account and each is accompanied by a couple of examples of the syntax.

SSH Telnet in VPS

The virtual private server offers which we offer feature SSH access as standard, not as an optional upgrade or a function which you should activate. The minute your new server is ready, you will be able to connect and start working on your content through the login details that you have entered through the order procedure. A copy of the SSH credentials shall be sent to you via e mail as well. Because your VPS will be isolated from the others on the physical web server, there are no limitations as to what you can or cannot do through SSH. You could download, set up and manage any piece of software that will run on a Linux machine, reboot the entire server or just a specific software component, and work with files, folders and databases without restrictions. All you'll need for that is a console or an SSH client on your end.
