Secure Shell, also known as SSH, is a cryptographic network protocol that is used to execute commands on a remote web server or to exchange info between a web server and a client. Given that the information exchanged by the 2 sides is encoded, a 3rd party cannot intercept it, which makes SSH an ideal means of controlling a website hosting account. The commands which could be executed are determined by the type of hosting service. On a shared hosting server, for example, the choices are limited since 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, etcetera. They're all actions that are executed within the shared hosting account and don't need a higher level of access. Through a virtual or a dedicated server, you'll be able to set up server-side software or to restart the server or just a certain service (web server, database server, etc.). SSH commands are submitted with a command line, but if you don't employ a UNIX-like Operating System, there are a number of applications for other OSs, that you can employ to connect to the remote server as well.

SSH Telnet in Cloud Hosting

If the cloud hosting plan that you’ve chosen through the signup procedure offers SSH access as standard, you will be able to activate this feature with just a mouse click from your Hepsia Control Panel. In case you have chosen a different package, the SSH access function can be added via the Upgrades menu and it will become available instantly. The information which you need connect will be conveniently listed within the SSH section of the CP - the hostname, the username and the port number. You can even set what password to use from the same spot and you will be able to modify it whenever you want. All the commands which are allowed are listed in the Help articles which we've prepared for you, in addition to examples of the syntax which you need to use. An additional advantage of permitting SSH access to your account is that you will be able to upload files via an SFTP connection.

You can select the password you'll use and if you'd like, you could change it on a regular basis with a few clicks for even higher security. You shall be able to see all the commands that you may use upfront, because we have listed them all alongside examples of how they are used in order to perform a particular task.

SSH Telnet in VPS Hosting

All our virtual private server offers feature SSH access by default, so you won't have to add any upgrades or enable anything - the instant the server is set up and you receive its login info, you will be able to connect using its main IP address and the login credentials that you've picked throughout the signup process. Due to the fact that the VPS accounts include full root-level access, there aren't any restrictions with regards to the commands that you may run. Your server shall be isolated from the other ones on the physical machine, so you will be able to manage more or less everything via a command line, including server-side software installations and reboots. Thus, you may work with your files, databases and any applications that you install in a fast and risk-free way.
