SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol which is used to transfer encoded info between a client and a server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any info. Many tech-savvy clients prefer SSH mainly because of the enhanced security level. The connection is established and the commands are sent via a command line. The available options depend on the type of web hosting service - on a shared server, in particular, files can be relocated or deleted, databases may be imported and exported, and archives can be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your choices are significantly more - the web server and the database server could be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software could be installed and much more. These things are not possible on a shared server, because full root access is needed and all the other customers on that server shall be affected. Though SSH is used largely with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs too - Windows, Mac OS, and so on.

SSH Telnet in Cloud Hosting

If you have a cloud hosting account with our company and you would like to manage your content remotely via SSH, you can get SSH access to the account via your Hepsia Control Panel. If your plan does not come with this feature as standard, you could add it with a couple of mouse clicks via the Upgrades menu. In the SSH section of the Control Panel, you'll see the host, the port number and the username you should use when you connect to the account. You can even select what password you would like to use, considering that it does not need to be the same as the one for your account. We've prepared a lot of Help articles where you could find all of the commands that you will be able to use with a shared hosting plan, as well as 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 through a standard client like FileZilla, for example.

SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you shall be able to get SSH access to it with just a mouse click from the corresponding section of the Hepsia hosting CP, supplied with all accounts. If your package does not support this function by default, you'll be able to add it easily using the Upgrades menu. Once you go to the SSH section, you shall find the details 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 at any time, when required. These login credentials are also required if you'd like to upload files through a secure connection and you want to use SFTP, which is also part of the SSH access service which we offer. A comprehensive list of the commands you can execute will give you a better idea of what tasks you can perform within your account and each is accompanied by a few instances of the syntax.

SSH Telnet in VPS Web Hosting

When you acquire a new virtual private server from us, it shall offer full root access and you'll be able to connect to the server and to handle everything using an SSH console. The function comes as standard with all plans, so you will not need to activate or upgrade anything. Your server will be set up right after you order it and the minute you receive the Welcome e-mail with the login info, you could connect via the server’s primary IP address and begin working. Because the VPS is a software emulation of a dedicated server and is separated from the other accounts on the physical machine, there'll be no restrictions regarding the commands which you can use. You shall have full root access, so that you can install and run any application which can work on a Linux web server, manage files, folders and databases or start/stop/reboot your entire machine or any software operating on it.
