SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol which is used to transfer encrypted data between a client and a web server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any info. Many tech-savvy clients favor SSH mainly because of the better security level. The connection is made and the commands are sent using a command line. The available options depend on the type of hosting service - on a shared server, in particular, files could be moved or deleted, databases can be imported and exported, and archives could be set up or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your options are much more - the web server and the database server could be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software can be installed and a lot more. These things are not possible on a shared server, due to the fact that full root access is needed and all the other clients on that server will 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 forth.
SSH Telnet in Shared Website Hosting
SSH access is featured with all Linux shared website hosting that we offer you. With some of them, it's included by default, while with others it is an additional upgrade which you can add with several clicks from your web hosting Control Panel. You could get SSH access from the section related to it in which you can also find the information that you need to connect - the host, the port number and the username. You could select the password that you'll use and, if necessary, you'll be able to modify it with several mouse clicks from the same place. All of the commands which could be used with our shared packages are listed within a help article along with relevant examples. If the SSH access function is enabled for your account, you shall also be able to upload files through your favorite FTP client via an SFTP connection.
SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Hosting
All our semi-dedicated server accounts offer the possibility to access and handle them via SSH. If the package deal that you have chosen comes with this feature by default, you just have to allow the SSH access function through the corresponding section of the Hepsia CP. If the feature is listed as an additional upgrade, you can quickly add it via the Add Services/Upgrades link in the Hepsia Control Panel and it will be available within a minute. We have a variety of help articles and instructional videos concerning the use of SSH commands to handle your account and an entire list of the commands which you can execute together with several examples to provide you with a better understanding of what you can do. If SSH is enabled, you'll also be able to create an SFTP connection to the account and to upload data securely using any FTP application which supports the feature.
SSH Telnet in VPS Web Hosting
If you purchase a new virtual private server from us, it shall feature full root access and you will be able to connect to the server and to manage everything via an SSH console. The feature comes as standard with all plans, so you won't need to enable or upgrade anything. Your server shall be set up soon after you get it and as soon as you get the Welcome e mail with the login info, you could connect using the server’s primary IP address and begin working. As the VPS is a software emulation of a dedicated server and is separated from the other accounts inside the physical machine, there'll be no restrictions with regards to the commands which you can use. You'll have full root access, so that you can install and run any app that can work on a Linux machine, manage files, folders and databases or start/stop/reboot your entire machine or any software operating on it.
