SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol that is used to exchange encrypted data between a client and a server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any info. Many tech-savvy customers favor SSH because of the enhanced security level. The connection is established and the commands are sent via a command line. The offered options depend on the type of hosting service - on a shared server, for example, files may be relocated or deleted, databases can be imported and exported, and archives may be set up or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your choices are a lot more - the web server and the database server may be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software may be set up and a lot 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. Though SSH is used primarily with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so forth.

SSH Telnet in Cloud Web Hosting

In case you have a cloud web hosting account with us and you want to handle your content remotely via SSH, you may get SSH access to the account through your Hepsia Control Panel. If your plan doesn't provide this feature by default, you could add it with several mouse clicks via the Upgrades menu. In the SSH section of the CP, you'll see the host, the port number and the username that you should use when you connect to the account. You could also pick what password you want to use, considering that it does not have to be the same as the one for the account. We've prepared a lot of Help articles in which you can find each of the commands that you will be able to use with a shared hosting plan, as well as examples of how they're used. Furthermore, if SSH access is enabled for your account, you'll be able to establish a Secure FTP (SFTP) connection using a standard client like FileZilla, for instance.

SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Servers

Once you go to the SSH section, you'll find the info which 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.

These login credentials are also needed if you would like to upload files using a secure connection and you want to use SFTP, which is also part of the SSH access service we provide you with. A thorough list of the commands which you can execute will give you a better idea of what tasks you can perform inside your account and each one is accompanied by a couple of instances of the syntax.

You'll have root-level access to the VPS and since the account shall be isolated from all of the other accounts within the physical server, you will be able to do anything you would like with no restrictions. You can install any app you need and which will run on a Linux-based web server, reboot any software server (web, database, game, media, etc.) and work with your files and databases easily and quickly.
