SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol used to exchange encoded info between a client and a hosting server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any information. Many tech-savvy clients favor SSH due to the enhanced security level. The connection is made and the commands are sent via a command line. The available options depend on the type of web hosting service - on a shared server, for instance, files can be relocated or deleted, databases can be imported and exported, and archives may be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your choices are a lot more - the web server and the database server could be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software can be installed and much more. These things aren't possible on a shared server, because full root access is required and all the other clients on that server shall be affected. While SSH is used largely with UNIX-like OSs, there are SSH clients for other OSs too - Windows, Mac OS, and so on.

SSH Telnet in Cloud Hosting

SSH access may be enabled with a click through the Hepsia Control Panel if the Linux cloud hosting package that you've selected offers this feature by default. If not, you may add it using the Add Services/Upgrades section of your CP and enable it right away. You'll find all the information which you need within the SSH section of the CP - the host, the port number and the username that you have to use, along with in depth Help articles where we have listed the commands that you can use inside the account and examples of the syntax that you have to use. The SSH password may be modified from the same section at any time with a few clicks. So long as SSH access is enabled, you will also be able to connect safely and securely via an FTP client too. With an SFTP connection, each of the files you upload will go through an encrypted connection.

SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You'll 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 feature is offered as standard, while with others, it could be added as an optional upgrade for as long as you need it. You will find the necessary login information in the Hepsia CP, provided 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'd like, you can change it all the time with several clicks for even higher security. You shall be able to see all the commands which you can use upfront, as we've listed all of them alongside examples of how they are used to carry out a certain task. Once SSH access to your semi-dedicated server account is enabled, you shall be able to use an FTP program and establish an SFTP connection.

SSH Telnet in VPS Web Hosting

The virtual private server packages that we offer provide SSH access as standard, not as an additional upgrade or a function which you need to activate. As soon as your new server is ready, you will be able to connect and begin working on your content using the login details which you have entered throughout the order process. A copy of the SSH credentials will be sent to you via e mail too. Because your VPS shall be isolated from the other ones on the physical server, there aren't any limitations regarding what you can or can't do via SSH. You'll be able to download, set up and manage any piece of software which will run on a Linux machine, reboot the entire server or just a particular software component, and work with files, folders and databases with no restrictions. All you will need for that is a console or an SSH client on your end.
