Secure Shell, better known as SSH, is a cryptographic network protocol employed to execute commands on a remote machine or to exchange data between a website hosting server and a client. Due to the fact that the information exchanged by the two sides is encrypted, a 3rd party won't be able to intercept it, which makes SSH a preferred means of managing a website hosting account. The commands that may be executed depend on the type of hosting service. On a shared hosting server, for instance, the possibilities are limited since you will not have root access to the website hosting server, so you can just create/move/delete files, create and unpack archives, import and export databases, and so forth. They are all actions which are executed inside the shared hosting account and don't require a higher level of access. Using a virtual or a dedicated server, you'll be able to install server-side software or to restart the server or just a particular service (web server, database server, etc.). SSH commands are submitted through a command line, and if you don't use a UNIX-like OS, there are tons of apps for other OSs, which you can employ to connect to the remote web server as well.

SSH Telnet in Hosting

SSH access is provided with all Linux hosting services which we offer. With some of them, it is provided by default, while with others it's an additional upgrade which you can include with several mouse clicks in your hosting Control Panel. You could get SSH access through the section dedicated to it where you can also find the info you need to connect - the host, the port number and the username. You will be able to choose the password which you'll use and, if required, you shall be able to change it with several clicks from the same spot. All of the commands that may be used with our shared packages are listed in a help article along with relevant instances. If the SSH access feature is allowed for your account, you shall also be able to upload files using 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 manage them via SSH. If the package that you've chosen includes this function by default, you simply have to enable the SSH access function via the corresponding section of the Hepsia Control Panel. If the feature is listed as an additional upgrade, you are able to quickly add it via the Add Services/Upgrades link within the Hepsia Control Panel and it'll be available within a minute. We have a lot of help articles and instructional videos regarding the use of SSH commands to handle your account and an entire list of the commands that you can carry out alongside various examples to provide you with a better understanding of what you can do. If SSH is enabled, you shall also be able to establish an SFTP connection to the account and to upload files safely and securely through any FTP application that supports the function.

SSH Telnet in VPS Web Hosting

All our virtual private server packages come with SSH access by default, so you shall not have to include any upgrades or enable anything - as soon as the server is set up and you receive its login information, you shall be able to connect via its main IP address and the login credentials which you've chosen throughout the signup process. Due to the fact that the VPS accounts feature full root-level access, there aren't any restrictions in terms of the commands which you may run. Your server shall be isolated from the others on the physical machine, so you shall be able to manage pretty much everything using a command line, including server-side software installations and reboots. This way, you can work with your files, databases and any apps you install in a fast and risk-free way.
