SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol employed to transfer protected info between a client and a website hosting server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any info. Many tech-savvy clients opt for SSH mainly because of the improved level of security. The connection is created and the commands are sent through a command line. The available options depend on the type of web hosting service - on a shared server, for instance, files may be relocated or deleted, databases can be imported and exported, and archives can be set up or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, the options are a lot more - the web server and the database server can be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software could be installed and a lot more. These things aren't possible on a shared server, because full root access is required and all the other customers on that server would be affected. Even though SSH is employed predominantly with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs too - Windows, Mac OS, and so forth.

SSH Telnet in Cloud Hosting

If the cloud hosting package deal which you’ve selected throughout the signup process offers SSH access as standard, you'll be able to activate this function with just a click inside your Hepsia CP. If you've chosen a different package, the SSH access function may be added through the Upgrades menu and it shall become available immediately. The information which you need connect will be conveniently listed inside the SSH section of the Control Panel - the hostname, the username and the port number. You can even set what password to use from the same location and you will be able to change it at any time. All the commands which are allowed are listed within the Help articles that we have prepared for you, along with examples of the syntax that you have to use. An additional advantage of allowing SSH access to your account is that you'll be able to upload files using an SFTP connection.

SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you have a semi-dedicated server account with us, you shall be able to get SSH access to it with simply a click from the corresponding section of the Hepsia hosting CP, supplied with all accounts. If your package doesn't support this function by default, you'll be able to include it with ease via the Upgrades menu. As soon as you go to the SSH section, you will find the information that you need to connect to the server through a command line or a desktop app - the server/host, the port number, the username and the password. The latter could be updated anytime, if required. These login credentials are also required if you would like to upload files via a secure connection and you would like to use SFTP, which is also part of the SSH access service we offer. An extensive list of the commands that you can perform shall provide you with a better idea of what tasks you could perform inside your account and each is accompanied by a couple of instances of the syntax.

SSH Telnet in VPS Servers

All our VPS server plans feature SSH access as standard, so you shall not have to add any upgrades or activate anything - the moment the server is set up and you receive its login details, you shall be able to connect via its primary IP address and the login credentials that you have picked through the signup process. Because the VPS accounts come with full root-level access, there are no restrictions regarding the commands which you may run. Your server will be isolated from the other ones on the physical machine, so you shall be able to manage more or less everything through a command line, including server-side software installations and reboots. That way, you can work with your files, databases and any apps which you install in a fast and safe way.
