SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol used to exchange encrypted information between a client and a server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any data. Many tech-savvy customers favor SSH because of the improved security level. The connection is created and the commands are delivered using a command line. The offered options depend on the type of web hosting service - on a shared server, for example, files may be relocated or deleted, databases may be imported and exported, and archives may be set up or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your choices are much more - the web server and the database server may be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software could be installed and a lot more. These things are not possible on a shared server, due to the fact that full root access is needed and all the other customers on that server will be affected. Although SSH is used predominantly with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, etc.
SSH Telnet in Shared Web Hosting
If the shared web hosting plan that you’ve selected through the signup process includes SSH access by default, you will be able to activate this feature with a mouse click inside your Hepsia CP. In case you have selected a different plan, the SSH access feature can be added through the Upgrades menu and it will become available right away. All the information that you need to connect will be conveniently listed inside the SSH section of the Control Panel - the hostname, the username and the port number. You can also set what password to use from the same location and you will be able to modify it anytime. All commands which are permitted are listed within the Help articles which we have prepared for you, in addition to examples of the syntax that you must use. An additional advantage of allowing SSH access to your account is that you will be able to upload files via an SFTP connection.
SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You will be able to connect to your semi-dedicated server account using SSH no matter which package you choose when you sign up. With some packages, the feature is included as standard, while with others, it may be added as an optional upgrade for as long as you need it. You will find the needed login information within the Hepsia CP, provided with all accounts - the host/server name, the port number and the login name. You could choose the password that you'll use and if you would like, you could change it constantly with several mouse clicks for even higher security. You will be able to see all the commands which you can use in advance, because we've listed them along with examples of how they are used to accomplish a certain task. The moment SSH access to your semi-dedicated server account is activated, you'll be able to use an FTP program and establish an SFTP connection.
SSH Telnet in VPS Web Hosting
You shall be able to use SSH to manage your content regardless which Linux virtual private servers you choose when you sign up, as all our plans include this feature by default. You'll not need to include or activate anything manually - as soon as your hosting server is ready and you get the Welcome e-mail with the login info, you could connect and start working on your Internet sites or any software that you want to set up and run on the hosting server. You shall have root-level access to the VPS and due to the fact that the account will be separated from all of the other accounts on the physical server, you shall be able to do anything you want without any restrictions. You may set up any app which you need and that will run on a Linux-based server, restart any software server (web, database, game, media, etc.) and work with your files and databases efficiently.
