SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol that's used to exchange encoded data between a client and a web server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any info. Many tech-savvy clients opt for SSH due to the higher level of security. The connection is established and the commands are delivered via a command line. The accessible options depend on the type of web hosting service - on a shared server, in particular, files may be moved or deleted, databases may be imported and exported, and archives may be set up or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, the choices are much more - the web server and the database server can be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software could be set up and much more. These things are not possible on a shared server, since full root access is required and all the other clients on that server would be affected. Even though SSH is used largely with UNIX-like OSs, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so forth.

SSH Telnet in Shared Hosting

In case you have a shared hosting account with our company and you would like to manage your content remotely using SSH, you can easily receive SSH access to the account via your Hepsia Control Panel. If your package doesn't offer this feature as standard, you may add it with a few clicks from the Upgrades menu. Within the SSH section of the Control Panel, you'll see the host, the port number and the username which you should use when you connect to the account. You could also select what password you would want to use, as it does not have to be the same as the one for your account. We've prepared a number of Help articles in which you could find each of the commands you will be able to use with a shared hosting package, as well as examples of how they're used. Moreover, if SSH access is enabled for your account, you will be able to establish a Secure FTP (SFTP) connection by using a standard client such as FileZilla, for example.

SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you have a semi-dedicated server account with us, you'll be able to receive SSH access to it with just a click from the corresponding section of the Hepsia hosting CP, which comes with all accounts. If your package doesn't support this function by default, you will be able to add it easily via the Upgrades menu. As soon as you go to the SSH section, you shall discover the information 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 could be updated anytime, when required. These login credentials are also needed if you'd like to upload files through a secure connection and you would like to use SFTP, which is also part of the SSH access service that we offer. A detailed list of the commands you can carry out will give you a better idea of what tasks you can perform in your account and each is accompanied by several instances of the syntax.

SSH Telnet in VPS Servers

You'll be able to use SSH to handle your content no matter which VPS web hosting plans you choose when you sign up, as all of our packages provide this feature as standard. You'll not have to include or enable anything by hand - immediately after your hosting server is prepared and you get the Welcome email with the login info, you may connect and start working on your web sites or any software you want to install and run on the machine. You will have root-level access to the VPS and due to the fact that the account will be isolated from all of the other accounts on the physical hosting server, you will be able to do anything you would like with no restrictions. You may install any app which you need and which shall work on a Linux-based hosting server, reboot any software server (web, database, game, media, etc.) and manage your files and databases fast and easy.
