Secure Shell, better known as SSH, is a cryptographic network protocol that is used to execute commands on a remote machine or to exchange data between a hosting server and a client. Given that the information exchanged by the two sides is encrypted, a 3rd party can't intercept it, which makes SSH a preferred means of controlling an Internet hosting account. The commands which can be executed are determined by the type of hosting service. On a shared web server, in particular, the possibilities are limited because you'll not have root access to the hosting server, so you can only create/move/delete files, set up and unpack archives, import and export databases, and so on. They are all actions which are performed inside the shared hosting account and don't need a higher level of access. Using a virtual or a dedicated server, you shall have the option to set up server-side software or to restart the server or only a specific service (web server, database server, etc.). SSH commands are submitted through a command line, and if you don't use a UNIX-like Operating System, there are a lot of apps for other OSs, which you can use to connect to the remote hosting server as well.
SSH Telnet in Hosting
SSH access can be enabled with a mouse click from the Hepsia Control Panel if the Linux hosting plan which you have picked provides this feature by default. If not, you could add it from the Add Services/Upgrades section of your CP and enable it right away. You'll discover all the details that you need in the SSH section of the CP - the host, the port number and the username that you need to use, as well as comprehensive Help articles in which we've listed each of the commands that you can use inside the account and examples of the syntax that you have to use. The SSH password could be changed from the same section at any time with a couple of mouse clicks. So long as SSH access is enabled, you'll also be able to connect safely via an FTP client too. With an SFTP connection, all the files you upload shall go through an encrypted connection.
SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Servers
You will be able to connect to your semi-dedicated server account using SSH no matter which plan you choose when you sign up. With some plans, the function is offered as standard, while with others, it can be added as and additional upgrade for as long as you need it. You can find the necessary login info in the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all accounts - the host/server name, the port number and the login name. You may choose the password you'll use and if you would like, you can change it all the time with a couple of clicks for even higher security. You'll be able to see all the commands that you may use in advance, since we've listed them all together with examples of how they are used in order to accomplish a specific task. The moment SSH access to your semi-dedicated server account is enabled, you shall be able to use an FTP program and establish an SFTP connection.
SSH Telnet in VPS Servers
The VPS server plans that we offer include SSH access by default, not as a paid upgrade or a feature that you have to activate. Once your new server is prepared, you will be able to connect and begin 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 too. Since your VPS will be isolated from the others on the physical hosting server, there aren't any limitations regarding what you can or cannot do through SSH. You could download, set up and manage any piece of software which will run on a Linux server, reboot your entire server or simply a certain 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.
