SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol which is used to transfer encoded info between a client and a website hosting server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any info. Many tech-savvy clients opt for SSH because of the better level of security. The connection is established and the commands are delivered through a command line. The accessible options depend on the type of Internet hosting service - on a shared server, in particular, files may be moved or deleted, databases may be imported and exported, and archives may be set up or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, the choices are considerably more - the web server and the database server may be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software may be set up and more. These things aren't possible on a shared server, for the reason that full root access is needed and all the other clients on that server will be affected. While SSH is used predominantly with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so on.

SSH Telnet in Cloud Website Hosting

In case you have a cloud website hosting account with our company and you want to handle your content remotely via SSH, you may get SSH access to the account via your Hepsia Control Panel. If your package doesn't provide this feature by default, you could add it with a few clicks from the Upgrades menu. In the SSH section of the CP, you'll see the host, the port number and the username which you should use when you connect to the account. You could also select what password you want to use, given that it doesn't need to be the same as the one for your account. We have prepared a number of Help articles in which you can find all of the commands that you will be able to use with a shared hosting plan, plus examples of how they're used. Also, if SSH access is enabled for your account, you will be able to establish a Secure FTP (SFTP) connection via a standard client such as FileZilla, for example.

SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All our semi-dedicated server accounts provide the possibility to access and control them using SSH. If the plan that you have chosen incorporates this feature by default, you simply need to activate the SSH access feature via the corresponding section of the Hepsia CP. If the function is listed as an additional upgrade, you could quickly include it through the Add Services/Upgrades link in the Hepsia Control Panel and it shall be available within a minute. We have a number of help articles and video lessons regarding the use of SSH commands to handle your account and a whole list of the commands that you can execute along with several examples to provide you with a better understanding of what you could do. If SSH is enabled, you shall also be able to create an SFTP connection to the account and to upload information safely using any FTP app that supports the feature.

SSH Telnet in VPS Web Hosting

If you order a new virtual private server from our company, it will feature full root access and you shall be able to connect to the server and to handle everything through an SSH console. The function is included as standard with all packages, so you shall not have to activate or upgrade anything. Your server shall be set up immediately after you purchase it and the minute you get the Welcome e mail with the login info, you may connect using the server’s primary IP address and start working. Because the VPS is a software emulation of a dedicated server and is isolated from the other accounts inside the physical machine, there will be no restrictions in terms of the commands you can use. You'll have full root access, so that you may install and run any app that can work on a Linux server, manage files, folders and databases or start/stop/reboot the entire machine or any software operating on it.
