SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol employed to exchange encrypted data between a client and a website hosting server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any info. Many tech-savvy customers favor SSH due to the enhanced security level. The connection is made and the commands are delivered using a command line. The offered options depend on the type of web hosting service - on a shared server, for instance, files can be relocated or deleted, databases can be imported and exported, and archives could be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, the choices are much more - the web server and the database server may be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software could be set up and more. These things aren't possible on a shared server, due to the fact that full root access is required and all the other clients on that server will be affected. Even though SSH is employed predominantly 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 may be allowed with a click from the Hepsia Control Panel if the cloud web hosting service that you have chosen includes this function by default. If not, you can include it using the Add Services/Upgrades section of your Control Panel and enable it straightaway. You'll find all the info you need within the SSH section of the Control Panel - the host, the port number and the username that you must use, along with detailed Help articles where we have listed the commands that you can use in the account and examples of the syntax you have to use. The SSH password could be changed from the very same section at any time with a few clicks. Assuming that SSH access is enabled, you shall also be able to connect safely through an FTP client too. With an SFTP connection, all the files you upload shall go through an encrypted connection.

SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You shall be able to connect to your semi-dedicated server account via SSH no matter which package you choose when you sign up. With some packages, the function is provided as standard, and with others, it could be added as an extra upgrade for as long as you need it. You will discover the required login information inside the Hepsia CP, included with all accounts - the host/server name, the port number and the login name. You will be able to choose the password which you'll use and if you want to, you could change it all the time with a few clicks for even higher security. You will be able to see all the commands that you may use beforehand, as we've listed all of them along with examples of how they are used to execute a specific task. As soon as SSH access to your semi-dedicated server account is enabled, you shall be able to use an FTP program and establish an SFTP connection.

SSH Telnet in VPS Hosting

You shall be able to use SSH to handle your content no matter which Linux virtual private servers you choose when you sign up, due to the fact that all our plans offer this feature by default. You won't need to include or enable anything manually - as soon as your server is ready and you receive the Welcome email with the login info, you'll be able to connect and start working on your web sites or any software that you would like to set up and run on the web server. You'll have root-level access to the VPS and due to the fact that the account shall be isolated from all the other accounts in the physical web server, you shall be able to do anything you would like with no restrictions. You may install any app you need and which shall run on a Linux-based web server, restart any software server (web, database, game, media, etc.) and work with your files and databases fast and easy.
