Secure Shell, also known as SSH, is a cryptographic network protocol that is used to execute commands on a remote hosting server or to exchange information between a hosting server and a client. Due to the fact that the information exchanged by the 2 sides is encoded, a third party simply cannot intercept it, which makes SSH a preferred means of controlling a website hosting account. The commands which could be executed depend on the type of hosting service. On a shared hosting server, for instance, the options are limited since you'll not have root access to the hosting server, so you may just create/move/delete files, set up and unpack archives, import and export databases, etc. They are all actions that are carried out within the shared hosting account and do not need a higher level of access. By using a virtual or a dedicated server, you will be able to set up server-side software or to restart the hosting server or just a certain service (web server, database server, etc.). SSH commands are submitted through a command line, but if you do not use a UNIX-like OS, there are a number of apps for other OSs, you can employ to connect to the remote hosting server as well.
SSH Telnet in Website Hosting
SSH access is available with all Linux website hosting packages that we provide. With some of them, it is included by default, while with others it's an optional upgrade which you can add with a couple of mouse clicks in your web hosting Control Panel. You may get SSH access from the section related to it in which you will also find the information you need to connect - the host, the port number and the username. You can select the password which you shall use and, if needed, you will be able to change it with several mouse clicks from the same spot. All the commands which could be used with our shared plans are listed inside a help article alongside relevant instances. If the SSH access feature is permitted for your account, you'll also be able to upload files through your preferred FTP client via an SFTP connection.
SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Hosting
All our semi-dedicated server accounts provide the possibility to access and control them through SSH. If the package deal that you have picked comes with this function by default, you simply need to allow the SSH access function via the corresponding section of the Hepsia CP. If the function is listed as an additional upgrade, you are able to quickly include it via the Add Services/Upgrades link in the Hepsia CP and it will be available within a minute. We have numerous help articles and video lessons concerning the use of SSH commands to handle your account and a whole list of the commands which you can perform together with a number of examples to give you a better idea of what you can do. If SSH is enabled, you'll also be able to set up an SFTP connection to the account and to upload data safely and securely via any FTP application that supports the feature.
SSH Telnet in VPS Hosting
All our virtual private server offers come with SSH access by default, so you shall not need to add any upgrades or enable anything - as soon as the server is set up and you receive its login details, you'll be able to connect using its primary IP address and the login credentials which you've chosen during the signup procedure. Due to the fact that the VPS accounts include full root-level access, there aren't any restrictions regarding the commands that you may run. Your server will be isolated from the others on the physical machine, so you shall be able to manage more or less everything via a command line, including server-side software installations and reboots. In this way, you may work with your files, databases and any apps that you install in a fast and safe way.
