Secure Shell, also known as SSH, is a cryptographic network protocol that is used to execute commands on a remote machine or to exchange data between a web server and a client. Due to the fact that the information exchanged by the 2 sides is encrypted, a 3rd party simply cannot intercept it, which makes SSH a favored means of controlling a web hosting account. The commands that may be executed are determined by the type of hosting service. On a shared server, for instance, the alternatives are limited because you simply won't have root access to the server, so you may simply create/move/delete files, set up and unpack archives, export and import databases, etc. They're all actions which are carried out within the shared hosting account and don't require a higher level of access. Using a virtual or a dedicated server, you shall be able to set up server-side software or to restart the web server or only a specific service (web server, database server, etc.). SSH commands are submitted with a command line, but if you don't use a UNIX-like Operating System, there are a lot of apps for other OSs, that you can employ to connect to the remote hosting server as well.
SSH Telnet in Shared Website Hosting
When you have a shared website hosting account with our company and you'd like to handle your content remotely through SSH, you could receive SSH access to the account through your Hepsia Control Panel. If your package doesn't provide this feature as standard, you can easily add it with a couple of clicks through the Upgrades menu. Within the SSH section of the CP, you shall see the host, the port number and the username you should use when you connect to the account. You may also pick what password you would like to use, given that it does not have to be the same as the one for your account. We've prepared a number of Help articles where you may find all of the commands you will be able to use with a shared hosting plan, as well as examples of how they are used. Furthermore, if SSH access is permitted for your account, you will be able to establish a Secure FTP (SFTP) connection using a standard client such as FileZilla, for instance.
SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Servers
You'll be able to connect to your semi-dedicated server account via SSH no matter which package you select when you sign up. With some packages, the feature is offered by default, and with others, it may be added as an extra upgrade for as long as you need it. You can find the necessary login details within the Hepsia CP, supplied with all accounts - the host/server name, the port number and the login name. You can choose the password that you'll use and if you'd like, you could change it regularly with several clicks for even better security. You shall be able to see all the commands which you can use in advance, as we've listed them all together with examples of how they are used so as to accomplish a specific task. As soon as SSH access to your semi-dedicated server account is allowed, you'll be able to use an FTP program and establish an SFTP connection.
SSH Telnet in VPS Servers
The VPS server packages which we offer feature SSH access by default, not as an optional upgrade or a feature that you should enable. The minute your new server is prepared, you'll be able to connect and start working on your content using the login details that you've entered through the order procedure. A copy of the SSH credentials will be sent to you via e-mail as well. Because your VPS will be isolated from the other ones on the physical web server, there are no limitations in regards to what you can or can't do using SSH. You'll be able to download, install and manage any piece of software which will run on a Linux server, reboot the entire server or simply a certain software component, and work with files, folders and databases without restrictions. All you'll require for this is a console or an SSH client on your end.
