Secure Shell, better known as SSH, is a cryptographic network protocol used to execute commands on a remote machine or to exchange info between a server and a client. Due to the fact that the data exchanged by the two sides is encoded, a third party cannot intercept it, which makes SSH a preferred means of controlling a hosting account. The commands that may be executed depend on the type of hosting service. On a shared hosting server, in particular, the choices are limited because you will not have root access to the website hosting server, so you may simply create/move/delete files, create and unpack archives, export and import databases, etc. They're all actions that are performed inside the shared hosting account and don't require a higher level of access. By using a virtual or a dedicated server, you shall have the ability to install server-side software or to restart the machine or just a specific service (web server, database server, etc.). SSH commands are submitted through a command line, and if you don't use a UNIX-like Operating System, there are a lot of apps for other OSs, that you can employ to connect to the remote hosting server as well.

SSH Telnet in Shared Hosting

SSH access could be enabled with a click via the Hepsia Control Panel if the Linux shared hosting that you've picked comes with this feature by default. If not, you may add it from the Add Services/Upgrades section of your CP and enable it at once. You will discover all the details which you need in the SSH section of the Control Panel - the host, the port number and the username that you have to use, alongside comprehensive Help articles in which we have listed all the commands that you can use within the account and examples of the syntax you have to use. The SSH password can be changed from the same section anytime with a few mouse clicks. Assuming that SSH access is enabled, you will also be able to connect safely via an FTP client as well. With an SFTP connection, all the files that you upload will go through an encrypted connection.

SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All our semi-dedicated server accounts offer the possibility to access and handle them via SSH. If the package which you have picked includes this feature by default, you just have to activate the SSH access feature via the corresponding section of the Hepsia CP. If the feature is listed as an optional upgrade, you are able to quickly add it via the Add Services/Upgrades link inside the Hepsia Control Panel and it will be available within a minute. We have numerous help articles and video lessons regarding the use of SSH commands to manage your account and a whole list of the commands you can carry out alongside a number of examples to give you a better understanding of what you could do. If SSH is enabled, you'll also be able to create an SFTP connection to the account and to upload information safely and securely through any FTP application which supports the function.

SSH Telnet in VPS

The virtual private server solutions which we offer provide SSH access by default, not as a paid upgrade or a function which you have to enable. Once your new server is prepared, you shall be able to connect and begin working on your content using the login details that you've entered during the order procedure. A copy of the SSH credentials will be sent to you via email too. Since your VPS will be isolated from the other ones on the physical server, there aren't any limitations as to what you can or cannot do via SSH. You can download, install and manage any piece of software that'll run on a Linux machine, reboot the entire server or just a specific software component, and work with files, folders and databases without restrictions. All you'll need for that is a console or an SSH client on your end.
