SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol employed to exchange encrypted info between a client and a web server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any info. Many tech-savvy clients prefer SSH mainly because of the better level of security. The connection is established and the commands are delivered using a command line. The available options depend on the type of web hosting service - on a shared server, in particular, files may be transferred or deleted, databases can be imported and exported, and archives could be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, the choices are a lot more - the web server and the database server could be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software could be set up and much more. These things are not possible on a shared server, because full root access is required and all the other clients on that server will be affected. While SSH is used predominantly with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so on.

When you have a shared web hosting account with our company and you would like to manage your content remotely through SSH, you can easily obtain SSH access to the account through your Hepsia Control Panel.

Within the SSH section of the CP, you shall 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, since it doesn't need to be the same as the one for your account. We have prepared many Help articles in which you may find all of the commands that you'll be able to use with a shared hosting package, plus examples of how they're used. Moreover, if SSH access is allowed for your account, you will be able to establish a Secure FTP (SFTP) connection via a standard client like FileZilla, for example.

SSH Telnet in VPS Hosting

All our virtual private server plans include SSH access by default, so you won't need to add any upgrades or enable anything - the second the server is set up and you receive its login details, you will be able to connect via its main IP address and the login credentials that you have selected during the signup process. Due to the fact that the VPS accounts include full root-level access, there are no restrictions regarding the commands that you can run. Your server shall be isolated from the others on the physical machine, so you will be able to manage more or less everything through a command line, including server-side software installations and reboots. Thus, you'll be able to work with your files, databases and any apps you install in a fast and risk-free way.
