Secure Shell, better known as SSH, is a cryptographic network protocol employed to execute commands on a remote hosting server or to exchange info between a web server and a client. Given that the data exchanged by the two sides is encrypted, a third party simply cannot intercept it, which makes SSH an ideal means of handling a web hosting account. The commands which can be executed depend on the type of hosting service. On a shared web server, in particular, the options are limited as you will not have root access to the machine, so you may just create/move/delete files, set up and unpack archives, export and import databases, and so forth. These are all actions that are carried out in the shared hosting account and do not require a higher level of access. By using a virtual or a dedicated server, you'll be able to set up server-side software or to restart the machine or just a particular service (web server, database server, etc.). SSH commands are submitted via a command line, and if you do not use a UNIX-like Operating System, there are a number of apps for other OSs, that you can employ to connect to the remote hosting server as well.

SSH Telnet in Cloud Hosting

SSH access could be enabled with a click through the Hepsia Control Panel if the cloud plan that you have picked provides this function as standard. If not, you could add it from the Add Services/Upgrades section of your Control Panel and enable it instantly. You'll find all the details you need inside the SSH section of the Control Panel - the host, the port number and the username that you have to use, along with thorough Help articles in which we have listed the commands which you can use inside the account and examples of the syntax you have to use. The SSH password can be modified from the exact same section anytime with a couple of clicks. So long as SSH access is enabled, you shall also be able to connect safely and securely through an FTP client too. With an SFTP connection, each of the files you upload will go through an encrypted connection.

SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Servers

All our semi-dedicated server accounts provide you with the possibility to access and handle them through SSH. If the package deal which you have selected comes with this function by default, you simply have to enable the SSH access feature using the corresponding section of the Hepsia Control Panel. If the feature is listed as an optional upgrade, you are able to quickly include it through the Add Services/Upgrades link inside the Hepsia CP and it will be available within a minute. We have a number of help articles and video tutorials about the use of SSH commands to handle your account and a full list of the commands that you can perform along with a number of examples to provide you with a better perception of what you could do. If SSH is enabled, you'll also be able to create an SFTP connection to the account and to upload files safely via any FTP app that supports the function.

SSH Telnet in VPS Servers

The VPS server solutions that we offer feature SSH access as standard, not as an additional upgrade or a feature that you have to activate. The moment your new server is prepared, you will be able to connect and begin working on your content through the login details you have entered throughout the order procedure. A copy of the SSH credentials will be sent to you via e-mail as well. As your VPS shall be isolated from the other ones on the physical web server, there are no limitations regarding what you can or can't do via SSH. You are able to download, set up and manage any piece of software that will run on a Linux server, reboot your entire server or just a specific software component, and work with files, folders and databases without restrictions. All you will require for that is a console or an SSH client on your end.
