SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol which is used to exchange protected information between a client and a web server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any data. Many tech-savvy clients opt for SSH due to the improved level of security. The connection is made and the commands are sent through a command line. The offered options depend on the type of hosting service - on a shared server, in particular, files could be transferred or deleted, databases can be imported and exported, and archives may be set up or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your options are a lot more - the web server and the database server may be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software can be installed and a lot more. These things aren't possible on a shared server, because full root access is needed and all the other customers on that server would be affected. Though SSH is used primarily with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so on.
SSH Telnet in Shared Web Hosting
SSH access could be permitted with a mouse click from the Hepsia Control Panel if the shared web hosting service which you have selected includes this feature by default. If not, you can add it via the Add Services/Upgrades section of your Control Panel and enable it straightaway. You will discover all the details you need in the SSH section of the CP - the host, the port number and the username which you must use, along with detailed Help articles in which we have listed all the commands you can use within the account and examples of the syntax you have to use. The SSH password could be modified from the same section at any time with a few mouse clicks. As long as SSH access is enabled, you shall also be able to connect safely and securely using an FTP client as well. With an SFTP connection, all of the files that you upload will go through an encrypted connection.
SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you have a semi-dedicated server account with us, you will be able to get SSH access to it with just a mouse click from the corresponding section of the Hepsia hosting CP, offered with all accounts. If your package does not support this feature by default, you'll be able to include it without difficulty via the Upgrades menu. As soon as you go to the SSH section, you shall discover the information you need to connect to the server using a command line or a desktop app - the server/host, the port number, the username and the password. The latter could be updated anytime, if necessary. These login credentials are also needed if you want to upload files using a secure connection and you wish to use SFTP, which is also part of the SSH access service we provide you with. An extensive list of the commands that you can perform will provide you with a better idea of what tasks you may perform in your account and each is accompanied by a few examples of the syntax.
SSH Telnet in VPS Servers
You'll be able to use SSH to handle your content no matter which VPS servers you select when you sign up, due to the fact that all of our packages come with this feature as standard. You won't need to add or allow anything by hand - as soon as your hosting server is prepared and you get the Welcome email with the login credentials, you can connect and begin working on your sites or any software that you'd like to install and run on the server. You will have root-level access to the VPS and due to the fact that the account shall be isolated from all of the other accounts inside the physical hosting server, you'll be able to do anything you need without any restrictions. You can install any app you need and that will run on a Linux-based machine, restart any software server (web, database, game, media, etc.) and handle your files and databases quickly and easily.
