SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol which is used to exchange encrypted info between a client and a website hosting server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any info. Many tech-savvy clients prefer SSH due to the enhanced level of security. The connection is created and the commands are sent via a command line. The accessible options depend on the type of hosting service - on a shared server, for instance, files can be relocated or deleted, databases may be imported and exported, and archives may be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your options are significantly more - the web server and the database server can be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software can be installed plus much more. These things aren't possible on a shared server, since full root access is required and all the other customers on that server would be affected. Although SSH is used largely with UNIX-like OSs, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so on.

SSH Telnet in Shared Website Hosting

When you have a shared website hosting account with us and you want to manage your content remotely using SSH, you could get SSH access to the account using your Hepsia Control Panel. If your package deal doesn't come with this feature as standard, you can easily add it with several clicks through the Upgrades menu. Inside the SSH section of the Control Panel, you will see the host, the port number and the username which you should use when you connect to the account. You may also choose what password you want to use, given that it does not need to be the same as the one for the account. We've prepared a number of Help articles in which you can find all the commands that you'll be able to use with a shared hosting plan, along with examples of how they're used. Additionally, if SSH access is enabled for your account, you'll be able to establish a Secure FTP (SFTP) connection by using a standard client such as FileZilla, for example.

When you go to the SSH section, you will find the info that you need to connect to the server via a command line or a desktop app - the server/host, the port number, the username and the password.

These login credentials are also required if you want 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 detailed list of the commands that you can carry out will offer you a better idea of what tasks you may perform within your account and each is accompanied by several instances of the syntax.

SSH Telnet in VPS Servers

All our VPS server plans include SSH access as standard, so you shall not have to include any upgrades or activate anything - the instant the server is set up and you receive its login info, you will be able to connect via its main IP address and the login credentials which you've picked through the signup procedure. Because the VPS accounts feature full root-level access, there aren't any restrictions regarding the commands which you can run. Your server shall be isolated from the other ones on the physical machine, so you shall be able to manage virtually everything via a command line, including server-side software installations and reboots. This way, you can work with your files, databases and any applications that you install in a fast and protected way.
