SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol that's used to exchange encoded info between a client and a website hosting server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any info. Many tech-savvy users prefer SSH mainly because of the improved security level. The connection is made and the commands are sent through a command line. The available options depend on the type of web hosting service - on a shared server, for example, files may be transferred or deleted, databases can be imported and exported, and archives can be set up or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your options are a lot more - the web server and the database server could be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software may be installed and more. These things aren't possible on a shared server, since full root access is needed and all the other clients on that server will be affected. Although SSH is used mainly with UNIX-like OSs, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so forth.
SSH Telnet in Cloud Website Hosting
If you have a cloud website hosting account with our company and you want to manage your content remotely using SSH, you can receive SSH access to the account through your Hepsia Control Panel. If your package deal does not provide this feature as standard, you can easily add it with several clicks via the Upgrades menu. Inside the SSH section of the Control Panel, you will see the host, the port number and the username you should use when you connect to the account. You can also choose what password you would like to use, considering that it doesn't have to be the same as the one for the account. We've prepared a lot of Help articles where you can find all the commands that you'll be able to use with a shared hosting package, as well as examples of how they are used. Also, if SSH access is allowed for your account, you will be able to establish a Secure FTP (SFTP) connection via a standard client like FileZilla, for instance.
SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Servers
SSH access is offered as standard with some of our semi-dedicated server plans, while with others you can easily include it from the hosting Control Panel if needed - even only for the current month. Either way, you can activate and de-activate the function with a single click through the SSH section of the Control Panel. In the same spot, you'll see the server name, the port number and the username needed to connect to our platform. You shall also find a box where you may input the password that you would like to use, since it doesn't need to be the same as the one you use to log into the Control Panel. For better protection, you can also change it as frequently as you require. A full list of the commands which can be performed within a semi-dedicated account is supplied in our Knowledge Base, along with the syntax and a few instances. An extra feature after SSH access is allowed shall be the ability to connect to your hosting space via SFTP through any FTP client which supports this sort of connections.
SSH Telnet in VPS Servers
The VPS server solutions that we offer provide SSH access as standard, not as an optional upgrade or a feature which you have to activate. Once your new server is ready, you will be able to connect and start working on your content via the login details that you've entered through the order procedure. A copy of the SSH credentials will be sent to you via email too. Since your VPS will be isolated from the others on the physical web server, there aren't any limitations in regards to what you can or can't do via SSH. You'll be able to download, install and manage any piece of software that'll run on a Linux web server, reboot the whole server or just a specific software component, and work with files, folders and databases with virtually no restrictions. All you'll require for this is a console or an SSH client on your end.
