SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol used to exchange protected information between a client and a server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any data. Many tech-savvy customers opt for SSH mainly because of the better level of security. The connection is made and the commands are sent via a command line. The accessible options depend on the type of Internet hosting service - on a shared server, in particular, files can be relocated or deleted, databases can be imported and exported, and archives could be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, the options are much more - the web server and the database server can be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software can be installed and much more. These things aren't possible on a shared server, since full root access is needed and all the other clients on that server shall be affected. Although SSH is used predominantly with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so forth.

SSH Telnet in Hosting

In case you have a hosting account with us and you would like to handle your content remotely via SSH, you can easily obtain SSH access to the account using your Hepsia Control Panel. If your plan does not offer this feature as standard, you can easily add it with a few clicks through the Upgrades menu. Inside the SSH section of the Control Panel, you'll see the host, the port number and the username that you should use when you connect to the account. You may also pick what password you would like to use, since it does not need to be the same as the one for your account. We've prepared a lot of Help articles where you could find all of the commands that you will be able to use with a shared hosting package, as well as examples of how they are used. Moreover, 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.

SSH Telnet in VPS Hosting

All our virtual private server plans feature SSH access as standard, so you won't have to include any upgrades or enable anything - the second the server is set up and you receive its login details, you will be able to connect through its primary IP address and the login credentials that you've chosen throughout the signup process. Due to the fact that the VPS accounts include full root-level access, there aren't any restrictions with regards to the commands that you may run. Your server will be isolated from the other ones on the physical machine, so you'll be able to manage more or less everything via a command line, including server-side software installations and reboots. This way, you can work with your files, databases and any applications which you install in a fast and safe way.
