Secure Shell, also known as SSH, is a cryptographic network protocol employed to execute commands on a remote web server or to exchange info between a website hosting server and a client. Since the information exchanged by the 2 sides is encrypted, a third party cannot intercept it, which makes SSH a favored means of controlling an Internet hosting account. The commands which can be executed depend on the type of hosting service. On a shared web server, in particular, the alternatives are limited since you shall not have root access to the server, so you could simply create/move/delete files, create and unpack archives, import and export databases, and so forth. These are all actions that are executed inside the shared hosting account and don't need a higher level of access. By using a virtual or a dedicated server, you will have the option to install server-side software or to restart the web server or just a specific service (web server, database server, etc.). SSH commands are submitted via a command line, and if you do not use a UNIX-like Operating System, there are a lot of applications for other OSs, that you can use to connect to the remote hosting server as well.

SSH Telnet in Web Hosting

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

SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Servers

All our semi-dedicated server accounts provide the possibility to access and manage them via SSH. If the package deal that you have selected includes this function by default, you just need to allow the SSH access function using the corresponding section of the Hepsia Control Panel. If the function is listed as an optional upgrade, you can quickly include it using the Add Services/Upgrades link in the Hepsia Control Panel and it shall be available within a minute. We have numerous help articles and educational videos concerning the use of SSH commands to manage your account and a full list of the commands that you can carry out along with a number of examples to provide you with a better idea 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 data safely via any FTP application which supports the feature.

SSH Telnet in VPS Servers

You shall be able to use SSH to control your content regardless which VPS servers you pick when you sign up, since all of our packages offer this function by default. You will not have to add or enable anything manually - the moment your hosting server is ready and you receive the Welcome email with the login details, 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 server. You shall have root-level access to the VPS and due to the fact that the account will be separated from the other accounts on the physical web server, you will be able to do anything you would like with no restrictions. You'll be able to set up any app you need and that shall run on a Linux-based machine, restart any software server (web, database, game, media, etc.) and manage your files and databases fast and easy.
