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

SSH Telnet in Cloud Hosting

If you have a cloud hosting account with us and you would like to deal with your content remotely via SSH, you can get SSH access to the account using your Hepsia Control Panel. If your package deal doesn't provide this feature as standard, you can easily add it with a few clicks through the Upgrades menu. Within 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 may also select what password you would want to use, since it does not need to be the same as the one for your account. We've prepared numerous Help articles where you could find all of the commands you will be able to use with a shared hosting plan, along with examples of how they're used. Additionally, if SSH access is enabled for your account, you will be able to establish a Secure FTP (SFTP) connection through a standard client such as FileZilla, for instance.

SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you have a semi-dedicated server account with us, you will be able to receive SSH access to it with only a click from the corresponding section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, offered with all accounts. If your plan doesn't support this feature by default, you'll be able to include it without difficulty via the Upgrades menu. Once you go to the SSH section, you'll discover the information which you need to connect to the server via a command line or a desktop application - the server/host, the port number, the username and the password. The latter could be updated at any time, when required. These login credentials are also needed if you'd like to upload files through a secure connection and you wish to use SFTP, which is also part of the SSH access service that we offer you. A complete list of the commands you can execute will give you a better idea of what tasks you may perform within your account and each is accompanied by a number of examples of the syntax.

SSH Telnet in VPS Servers

You shall be able to use SSH to handle your content no matter which VPS hosting plans you select when you sign up, as all of our packages come with this feature by default. You will not have to include or activate anything manually - as soon as your website hosting server is ready and you receive the Welcome e-mail with the login details, you'll be able to connect and start working on your sites or any software that you want to set up and run on the web server. You shall have root-level access to the VPS and because the account will be separated from all the other accounts on the physical web server, you'll be able to do anything you would like without any restrictions. You can install any application which you need and which shall work on a Linux-based server, reboot any software server (web, database, game, media, etc.) and handle your files and databases efficiently.
