SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol that's used to transfer encoded information between a client and a web server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any info. Many tech-savvy customers favor SSH because of the enhanced security level. The connection is created and the commands are sent through a command line. The available options depend on the type of Internet hosting service - on a shared server, for instance, files may be relocated or deleted, databases can be imported and exported, and archives could be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, the 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 a lot more. These things aren't possible on a shared server, because full root access is needed and all the other clients on that server would be affected. Although SSH is employed largely with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs too - Windows, Mac OS, and so forth.

SSH Telnet in Shared Website Hosting

When you have a shared website hosting account with our company and you would like to manage your content remotely via SSH, you could obtain SSH access to the account through your Hepsia Control Panel. If your package does not provide this feature as standard, you can add it with a few clicks via the Upgrades menu. In the SSH section of the CP, you'll see the host, the port number and the username that you need to use when you connect to the account. You can also pick what password you want to use, given that it doesn't need to be the same as the one for the account. We have prepared several Help articles where you could find all the commands that you'll be able to use with a shared hosting plan, as well as examples of how they are used. Also, if SSH access is enabled for your account, you shall be able to establish a Secure FTP (SFTP) connection using a standard client such as FileZilla, for instance.

SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Servers

You shall be able to connect to your semi-dedicated server account using SSH regardless of which plan you choose when you sign up. With some plans, the feature is offered by default, while with others, it can be included as an extra upgrade for as long as you need it. You shall find the required login details within the Hepsia Control Panel, provided with all accounts - the host/server name, the port number and the login name. You will be able to pick the password that you'll use and if you want, you may change it regularly with a couple of clicks for even higher security. You'll be able to see all the commands you can use in advance, since we've listed all of them together with examples of how they are used in order to accomplish a specific task. The moment SSH access to your semi-dedicated server account is enabled, you'll be able to use an FTP program and establish an SFTP connection.

SSH Telnet in VPS Servers

The VPS server solutions that we offer come with SSH access by default, not as a paid upgrade or a function that you must activate. The moment your new server is prepared, you shall be able to connect and begin working on your content through the login details that you've entered during the order procedure. A copy of the SSH credentials shall be sent to you via e mail as well. Since your VPS shall be isolated from the other ones on the physical web server, there are no limitations as to what you can or cannot do via SSH. You may download, set up and manage any piece of software that'll run on a Linux web server, reboot the entire server or just a certain software component, and work with files, folders and databases with no restrictions. All you will need for this is a console or an SSH client on your end.
