SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol employed to exchange encrypted information between a client and a server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any information. Many tech-savvy customers opt for SSH because of the improved level of security. The connection is established and the commands are delivered via a command line. The offered options depend on the type of Internet hosting service - on a shared server, in particular, files may be relocated or deleted, databases could be imported and exported, and archives could be set up or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, the options are significantly more - the web server and the database server can be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software can be set up and a lot more. These things are not possible on a shared server, since full root access is required and all the other clients on that server shall be affected. Although SSH is employed primarily with UNIX-like OSs, there are SSH clients for other OSs too - Windows, Mac OS, and so forth.

SSH Telnet in Cloud Web Hosting

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

SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Hosting

SSH access is included by default with some of our semi-dedicated server solutions, while with others you can easily include it from the hosting CP if needed - even only for the current month. Either way, you'll be able to activate and de-activate the feature with only one click through the SSH section of the Control Panel. In the same spot, you will find the server name, the port number and the username needed to connect to our platform. You'll also find a box where you may type in the password that you'd like to use, since it doesn't need to be the same as the one you use to log into the CP. For better protection, you may also change it as frequently as you need. A full list of the commands that can be executed in a semi-dedicated account is available in our Knowledge Base, along with the syntax and several instances. An extra function after SSH access is activated shall be the ability to connect to your hosting space via SFTP using any FTP client that supports this kind of connections.

SSH Telnet in VPS

All our virtual private server offers include SSH access as standard, so you shall not have to add any upgrades or activate anything - the instant the server is set up and you receive its login details, you shall be able to connect via its main IP address and the login credentials which you've chosen through the signup process. As the VPS accounts come with full root-level access, there are no restrictions regarding the commands that you could run. Your server shall be isolated from the other ones on the physical machine, so you'll be able to manage just about everything via a command line, including server-side software installations and reboots. In this way, you are able to work with your files, databases and any apps which you install in a fast and protected way.
