SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol that is used to transfer encoded data between a client and a website hosting server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any data. Many tech-savvy customers opt for SSH mainly because of the higher level of security. The connection is created and the commands are delivered through a command line. The offered options depend on the type of hosting service - on a shared server, in particular, files can be relocated or deleted, databases may be imported and exported, and archives may be set up or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, the options are a lot more - the web server and the database server may be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software could be set up and a lot more. These things aren't possible on a shared server, for the reason that full root access is required and all the other customers on that server would be affected. Even though SSH is employed predominantly with UNIX-like OSs, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so on.

SSH Telnet in Cloud Website Hosting

When you have a cloud website hosting account with our company and you want to handle your content remotely through SSH, you can obtain SSH access to the account through your Hepsia Control Panel. If your package does not include this feature by default, you could add it with several mouse clicks from the Upgrades menu. Inside the SSH section of the Control Panel, you shall see the host, the port number and the username you should use when you connect to the account. You may also pick what password you would like to use, since it doesn't need to be the same as the one for your account. We've prepared a lot of Help articles in which you can easily find all of the commands you will be able to use with a shared hosting package, along with examples of how they're used. Additionally, if SSH access is enabled for your account, you'll be able to establish a Secure FTP (SFTP) connection using a standard client like FileZilla, for instance.

The latter may be updated at any time, when required. These login credentials are also required if you'd like to upload files via a secure connection and you would like to use SFTP, which is also part of the SSH access service which we provide.

SSH Telnet in VPS Hosting

If you acquire a new virtual private server from our company, it will provide full root access and you'll be able to connect to the server and to manage everything via an SSH console. The feature comes as standard with all package deals, so you will not have to activate or upgrade anything. Your hosting server will be set up soon after you order it and the moment you receive the Welcome e mail with the login details, you may connect via the server’s main IP address and start working. As the VPS is a software emulation of a dedicated server and is separated from the other accounts on the physical machine, there won't be any restrictions regarding the commands that you can use. You shall have full root access, so that you may install and run any app which can work on a Linux web server, manage files, folders and databases or start/stop/reboot the entire machine or any software running on it.
