SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol employed to transfer encoded information between a client and a hosting server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any data. Many tech-savvy users opt for SSH due to the improved security level. The connection is made and the commands are sent using a command line. The offered options depend on the type of hosting service - on a shared server, in particular, files could be moved or deleted, databases could be imported and exported, and archives could be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, the options are much more - the web server and the database server may be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software can be set up plus much more. These things are not possible on a shared server, since full root access is required and all the other customers on that server will be affected. Even though SSH is used primarily with UNIX-like OSs, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so forth.
SSH Telnet in Cloud Hosting
SSH access is provided with all cloud hosting that we offer you. With some of them, it's featured as standard, while with others it is an additional upgrade that you can include with a few clicks in your web hosting Control Panel. You can obtain SSH access from the section dedicated to it where you shall also find the information which you need to connect - the host, the port number and the username. You will be able to choose the password that you'll use and, if necessary, you will be able to modify it with several mouse clicks from the same location. All of the commands that may be used with our shared packages are listed inside a help article together with relevant instances. If the SSH access function is enabled for your account, you shall also be able to upload files through your preferred FTP client via an SFTP connection.
SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Servers
All our semi-dedicated server accounts provide you with the possibility to access and control them using SSH. If the package that you have selected incorporates this function by default, you simply need to activate the SSH access function through the corresponding section of the Hepsia Control Panel. If the function is listed as an additional upgrade, you are able to quickly include it via the Add Services/Upgrades link inside the Hepsia CP and it will be available within a minute. We have various help articles and video tutorials about the use of SSH commands to manage your account and a full list of the commands which you can carry out along with various examples to give you a better understanding of what you could do. If SSH is enabled, you shall also be able to set up an SFTP connection to the account and to upload information securely using any FTP application which supports the feature.
SSH Telnet in VPS Servers
All our VPS server solutions include SSH access by default, so you will not need to include any upgrades or enable anything - as soon as the server is set up and you receive its login information, you'll be able to connect through its primary IP address and the login credentials which you've picked through the signup procedure. Due to the fact that the VPS accounts come with full root-level access, there are no restrictions with regards to the commands that you could run. Your server will be isolated from the others on the physical machine, so you will be able to manage pretty much everything using a command line, including server-side software installations and reboots. This way, you may work with your files, databases and any apps which you install in a fast and risk-free way.
