SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol employed to exchange encrypted information between a client and a hosting server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any info. Many tech-savvy clients opt for SSH mainly because of the enhanced security level. The connection is created and the commands are delivered using a command line. The available options depend on the type of Internet hosting service - on a shared server, for example, files could be transferred or deleted, databases can be imported and exported, and archives may be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your options are significantly more - the web server and the database server can be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software may be installed and more. These things are not possible on a shared server, since full root access is required and all the other customers on that server will be affected. Even though 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 is available with all Linux shared packages that we offer you. With some of them, it is featured by default, while with others it's an additional upgrade you can add with a few mouse clicks from your website hosting Control Panel. You could get SSH access through the section related to it in which you shall also find the info which you need to connect - the host, the port number and the username. You may select the password that you'll use and, if necessary, you will be able to change it with a few mouse clicks from the same location. All the commands which may be used with our shared packages are listed inside a help article alongside relevant examples. If the SSH access function is permitted for your account, you'll also be able to upload files using your favorite FTP client via an SFTP connection.

SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you will be able to receive SSH access to it with simply a mouse click from the corresponding section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, supplied with all accounts. If your plan does not support this function by default, you will be able to add it with ease using the Upgrades menu. As soon as you go to the SSH section, you will discover the details that you need to connect to the server through a command line or a desktop app - the server/host, the port number, the username and the password. The latter can be updated anytime, when required. These login credentials are also required if you would like to upload files using a secure connection and you would like to use SFTP, which is also part of the SSH access service which we offer you. A detailed list of the commands which you can execute shall provide you with a better idea of what tasks you can perform within your account and each one is accompanied by a couple of instances of the syntax.

SSH Telnet in VPS Hosting

All our virtual private server packages provide SSH access by default, so you won't need to add any upgrades or enable anything - the second the server is set up and you receive its login information, you will be able to connect via its main IP address and the login credentials that you have picked during the signup procedure. As the VPS accounts come with full root-level access, there are no restrictions with regards to the commands which you may run. Your server will be isolated from the other ones on the physical machine, so you shall be able to manage more or less everything through a command line, including server-side software installations and reboots. That way, you can work with your files, databases and any applications which you install in a fast and protected way.
