SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol that is used to transfer encoded information between a client and a hosting server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any info. Many tech-savvy customers prefer SSH due to the better security level. The connection is created and the commands are sent using a command line. The available options depend on the type of hosting service - on a shared server, for instance, files may be moved or deleted, databases can be imported and exported, and archives can be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, the choices are significantly more - the web server and the database server may be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software could be set up and much more. These things are not possible on a shared server, for the reason that full root access is required and all the other clients on that server shall be affected. Even though SSH is employed predominantly with UNIX-like OSs, there are SSH clients for other OSs too - Windows, Mac OS, and so forth.

SSH Telnet in Shared Hosting

In case you have a shared hosting account with our company and you'd like to handle your content remotely using SSH, you can receive SSH access to the account via your Hepsia Control Panel.

Inside the SSH section of the Control Panel, you will see the host, the port number and the username which you should use when you connect to the account. You can even pick what password you would want to use, since it does not have to be the same as the one for your account. We have prepared several Help articles where you can easily find all the commands that you'll be able to use with a shared hosting package, along with examples of how they are used. Also, if SSH access is allowed for your account, you shall be able to establish a Secure FTP (SFTP) connection by using a standard client like FileZilla, for instance.

SSH Telnet in VPS Servers

All our VPS server plans feature SSH access as standard, so you shall not need to include any upgrades or enable anything - the second the server is set up and you receive its login info, you'll be able to connect via its main IP address and the login credentials which you've selected through the signup process. Due to the fact that the VPS accounts feature full root-level access, there aren't any restrictions regarding the commands which you could run. Your server will be isolated from the others on the physical machine, so you shall be able to manage more or less everything using a command line, including server-side software installations and reboots.
