SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol that is used to transfer encoded information between a client and a hosting server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any information. Many tech-savvy customers choose SSH mainly because of the improved level of security. The connection is established and the commands are sent through a command line. The offered options depend on the type of web hosting service - on a shared server, for example, files could be transferred or deleted, databases may be imported and exported, and archives can be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your choices are much more - the web server and the database server could be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software could be set up and a lot more. These things are not possible on a shared server, due to the fact that full root access is required and all the other clients on that server shall be affected. Although SSH is employed mainly with UNIX-like OSs, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so forth.

SSH Telnet in Cloud Hosting

SSH access is provided with all cloud hosting we offer you. With some of them, it's included as standard, while with others it is an optional upgrade you can add with a couple of clicks in your web hosting Control Panel. You may get SSH access from the section related to it where you will also find the information that you need to connect - the host, the port number and the username. You will be able to pick the password that you shall use and, if required, you will be able to modify it with several clicks from the same spot. All the commands that can be used with our shared packages are listed inside a help article along with relevant examples. If the SSH access feature is allowed for your account, you shall also be able to upload files using your favorite FTP client via an SFTP connection.

SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you have a semi-dedicated server account with us, you'll be able to get SSH access to it with only a mouse click from the corresponding section of the Hepsia hosting CP, provided with all accounts. If your plan doesn't support this feature by default, you will be able to include it easily using the Upgrades menu. When you go to the SSH section, you'll discover the details which you need to connect to the server using 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, if necessary. These login credentials are also needed 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 we offer. A detailed list of the commands you can carry out shall offer you a better idea of what tasks you may perform inside your account and each is accompanied by several instances of the syntax.

SSH Telnet in VPS Servers

The VPS server solutions which we offer provide SSH access as standard, not as a paid upgrade or a function which you need to activate. Once your new server is prepared, you will be able to connect and start working on your content through the login details that you've entered during the order process. A copy of the SSH credentials will be sent to you via e mail as well. As your VPS shall be isolated from the others on the physical server, there aren't any limitations in regards to what you can or can't do through SSH. You'll be able to download, install and manage any piece of software which will run on a Linux hosting server, reboot the whole server or only a specific software component, and work with files, folders and databases with no restrictions. All you will need for this is a console or an SSH client on your end.
