SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol that's used to exchange encrypted information between a client and a hosting server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any data. Many tech-savvy users favor SSH mainly because of the improved level of security. The connection is made and the commands are sent using a command line. The accessible options depend on the type of Internet hosting service - on a shared server, for instance, files can be moved or deleted, databases could be imported and exported, and archives could be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your options are considerably more - the web server and the database server may be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software may be set up and 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 shall be affected. While SSH is used mainly 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

SSH access could be permitted with a mouse click from the Hepsia Control Panel if the shared website hosting that you've chosen includes this feature by default. If not, you could add it using the Add Services/Upgrades section of your CP and enable it right away. You'll discover all the info you need in the SSH section of the CP - the host, the port number and the username which you need to use, alongside comprehensive Help articles in which we've listed all the commands which you can use inside the account and examples of the syntax that you have to use. The SSH password can be modified from the same section anytime with several mouse clicks. As long as SSH access is enabled, you'll also be able to connect safely and securely using an FTP client as well. With an SFTP connection, all of the files you upload shall go through an encrypted connection.

SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you have a semi-dedicated server account with us, you'll be able to get SSH access to it with only a click from the corresponding section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, offered with all accounts. If your package doesn't support this function by default, you will be able to add it easily using the Upgrades menu. Once you go to the SSH section, you'll discover the information that you need to connect to the server through 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 needed. These login credentials are also required if you would like to upload files through a secure connection and you wish to use SFTP, which is also part of the SSH access service we offer. A thorough list of the commands that you can execute shall offer you a better idea of what tasks you could perform in your account and each is accompanied by a couple of instances of the syntax.

SSH Telnet in VPS Servers

You will be able to use SSH to manage your content no matter which VPS hosting plans you select when you sign up, since all our packages provide this feature as standard. You won't have to add or enable anything manually - as soon as your website hosting server is prepared and you get the Welcome e-mail with the login info, you can connect and start working on your sites or any software you want to install and run on the machine. You shall have root-level access to the VPS and because the account shall be isolated from the other accounts within the physical web server, you will be able to do anything you would like without any restrictions. You can install any app which you need and which shall work on a Linux-based machine, reboot any software server (web, database, game, media, etc.) and work with your files and databases efficiently.
