SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol which is used to exchange encoded information between a client and a web server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any info. Many tech-savvy clients prefer SSH because of the higher security level. The connection is established and the commands are delivered via a command line. The available options depend on the type of hosting service - on a shared server, for example, files could be moved or deleted, databases could be imported and exported, and archives can be set up or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, the options are significantly more - the web server and the database server may be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software could be installed and a lot more. These things aren't possible on a shared server, since full root access is required and all the other customers on that server will be affected. While SSH is used largely with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so on.
SSH Telnet in Shared Hosting
SSH access is provided with all Linux shared hosting we provide. With some of them, it is provided as standard, while with others it is an optional upgrade which you can include with several clicks in your hosting Control Panel. You may get SSH access through the section dedicated to it in which you can also find the information that you need to connect - the host, the port number and the username. You will be able to select the password that you'll use and, if necessary, you'll be able to change it with several clicks from the same location. All of the commands which could be used with our shared packages are listed in a help article along with relevant examples. If the SSH access function is allowed for your account, you shall also be able to upload files using your preferred FTP client via an SFTP connection.
SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Hosting
When 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 CP, provided with all accounts. If your package does not support this function by default, you shall be able to include it with ease through the Upgrades menu. After you go to the SSH section, you shall discover the information 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 may be updated anytime, if necessary. These login credentials are also required 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 you. A comprehensive list of the commands that you can carry out shall offer you a better idea of what tasks you may perform inside your account and each one is accompanied by several examples of the syntax.
SSH Telnet in VPS Hosting
All our virtual private server offers feature SSH access by default, so you will not have to add any upgrades or enable anything - the second the server is set up and you receive its login information, you will be able to connect via its primary IP address and the login credentials which you've picked through the signup process. Due to the fact that the VPS accounts include full root-level access, there aren't any restrictions regarding the commands which you can run. Your server shall be isolated from the others on the physical machine, so you will be able to manage more or less everything through a command line, including server-side software installations and reboots. This way, you may work with your files, databases and any apps you install in a fast and protected way.
