Secure Shell, better 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 hosting server and a client. As the information exchanged by the two sides is encoded, a 3rd party cannot intercept it, which makes SSH an ideal means of controlling a hosting account. The commands which may be executed depend on the type of hosting service. On a shared server, for example, the choices are limited because you won't have root access to the website hosting server, so you could just create/move/delete files, set up and unpack archives, export and import databases, and so on. These are all actions that are performed in the shared hosting account and don't need a higher level of access. With a virtual or a dedicated server, you will be able to set up server-side software or to restart the web server or just a specific service (web server, database server, etc.). SSH commands are submitted with a command line, and if you do not use a UNIX-like Operating System, there are a variety of applications for other OSs, which you can employ to connect to the remote server as well.

SSH Telnet in Website Hosting

SSH access is available with all Linux website hosting packages which we offer you. With some of them, it's offered by default, while with others it is an optional upgrade which you can include with a couple of clicks from your website hosting Control Panel. You could get SSH access through the section related to it in which you shall also find the details which you need to connect - the host, the port number and the username. You could select the password that you will use and, if required, you'll be able to change it with several mouse clicks from the same spot. All the commands which can be used with our shared plans are listed in a help article alongside relevant instances. If the SSH access feature is enabled for your account, you'll also be able to upload files using your preferred FTP client via an SFTP connection.

SSH Telnet in VPS

The virtual private server packages we offer include SSH access as standard, not as an optional upgrade or a feature which you have to activate. The minute your new server is ready, you'll be able to connect and start working on your content via the login details which you have entered throughout the order process. A copy of the SSH credentials shall be sent to you via email as well. Because your VPS will be isolated from the others on the physical hosting server, there aren't any limitations in regards to what you can or can't do via SSH. You'll be able to download, install and manage any piece of software that will run on a Linux server, reboot the entire server or just a particular software component, and work with files, folders and databases with virtually no restrictions. All you'll need for that is a console or an SSH client on your end.
