Secure Shell, also known as SSH, is a cryptographic network protocol that is used to execute commands on a remote server or to exchange info between a website hosting server and a client. Due to the fact that the information exchanged by the 2 sides is protected, a third party won't be able to intercept it, which makes SSH an ideal means of managing a hosting account. The commands which could be executed are determined by the type of hosting service. On a shared server, for example, the alternatives are limited because you'll not have root access to the website hosting server, so you can simply create/move/delete files, create and unpack archives, import and export databases, etc. They're all actions which are performed in the shared hosting account and do not require a higher level of access. Using a virtual or a dedicated server, you shall have the option to set up server-side software or to restart the hosting server or just a certain service (web server, database server, etc.). SSH commands are submitted via a command line, but if you don't employ a UNIX-like Operating System, there are a variety of applications for other OSs, you can use to connect to the remote hosting server as well.

SSH Telnet in Web Hosting

SSH access is available with all web hosting that we provide. With some of them, it's included by default, while with others it is an optional upgrade that you can add with several mouse clicks in your hosting Control Panel. You could get SSH access through the section related to it in which you shall also find the information which you need to connect - the host, the port number and the username. You can pick the password that you shall use and, if required, you shall be able to modify it with a few mouse clicks from the same location. All commands which may be used with our shared plans are listed inside a help article alongside relevant instances. If the SSH access function is permitted for your account, you shall also be able to upload files through your favorite FTP client via an SFTP connection.

SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All our semi-dedicated server accounts provide you with the possibility to access and handle them using SSH. If the package deal that you have picked includes this function by default, you simply have to enable the SSH access function through the corresponding section of the Hepsia CP. If the function is listed as an optional upgrade, you could quickly add it through the Add Services/Upgrades link in the Hepsia CP and it shall be available within a minute. We have a lot of help articles and instructional videos concerning the use of SSH commands to handle your account and an entire list of the commands which you can carry out along with a number of examples to provide you with a better idea of what you can do. If SSH is enabled, you'll also be able to set up an SFTP connection to the account and to upload information safely and securely using any FTP application which supports the feature.

SSH Telnet in VPS Hosting

All our virtual private server plans include SSH access as standard, so you shall not have to include any upgrades or enable anything - as soon as the server is set up and you receive its login info, you'll be able to connect using its primary IP address and the login credentials which you have picked during the signup process. Since the VPS accounts include full root-level access, there aren't any restrictions regarding the commands that you can run. Your server shall be isolated from the other ones on the physical machine, so you'll be able to manage just about everything using a command line, including server-side software installations and reboots. Thus, you'll be able to work with your files, databases and any applications that you install in a fast and safe way.
