Secure Shell, commonly known as SSH, is a cryptographic network protocol that is used to execute commands on a remote server or to exchange information between a server and a client. Due to the fact that the info exchanged by the two sides is encrypted, a third party can't intercept it, which makes SSH an ideal means of managing an Internet hosting account. The commands which can be executed depend on the type of hosting service. On a shared server, for instance, the possibilities are limited because you won't have root access to the hosting server, so you could only create/move/delete files, create and unpack archives, import and export databases, etc. They are all actions which are carried out inside the shared hosting account and do not need a higher level of access. Through a virtual or a dedicated server, you'll have the option to set up server-side software or to restart the server or just a specific service (web server, database server, etc.). SSH commands are submitted via a command line, but if you do not use a UNIX-like OS, there are a lot of applications for other OSs, you can employ to connect to the remote server as well.
SSH Telnet in Shared Hosting
SSH access is offered with all shared hosting plans we offer you. With some of them, it's provided as standard, while with others it is an optional upgrade that you can include with a couple of mouse clicks in your website hosting CP. You could get SSH access through the section dedicated to it in which you shall also find the information you need to connect - the host, the port number and the username. You could select the password that you will use and, if necessary, you shall be able to modify it with a few mouse clicks from the same location. All commands that could be used with our shared packages are listed in a help article along with relevant examples. If the SSH access feature is permitted for your account, you shall also be able to upload files through your favorite FTP client via an SFTP connection.
SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Servers
You will be able to connect to your semi-dedicated server account using SSH no matter which plan you choose when you sign up. With some plans, the function is offered as standard, and with others, it may be included as an optional upgrade for as long as you need it. You shall discover the required login information inside the Hepsia Control Panel, supplied with all accounts - the host/server name, the port number and the login name. You are able to select the password you'll use and if you want, you can change it constantly with a couple of clicks for even higher security. You'll be able to see all the commands which you can use upfront, since we have listed all of them together with examples of how they are used to accomplish a certain task. The moment SSH access to your semi-dedicated server account is activated, you will be able to use an FTP program and establish an SFTP connection.
SSH Telnet in VPS Servers
The VPS server plans we offer provide SSH access by default, not as an additional upgrade or a function which you must enable. Once your new server is ready, you shall be able to connect and begin working on your content via the login details that you've entered during the order process. A copy of the SSH credentials shall be sent to you via e mail as well. As your VPS shall be isolated from the other ones on the physical web server, there are no limitations regarding what you can or cannot do using SSH. You could download, set up and manage any piece of software that will run on a Linux hosting server, reboot the entire server or simply a certain software component, and work with files, folders and databases without restrictions. All you will need for that is a console or an SSH client on your end.
