SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol that is used to transfer encrypted information between a client and a website hosting server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any data. Many tech-savvy customers opt for SSH because of the higher level of security. The connection is made and the commands are delivered using a command line. The offered options depend on the type of hosting service - on a shared server, for instance, files can be transferred or deleted, databases could be imported and exported, and archives may be set up or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your options are much more - the web server and the database server may be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software can be set up and more. These things aren't possible on a shared server, for the reason that full root access is required and all the other customers on that server would be affected. Although SSH is employed largely with UNIX-like OSs, there are SSH clients for other OSs too - Windows, Mac OS, and so forth.
SSH Telnet in Website Hosting
When you have a website hosting account with us and you want to deal with your content remotely through SSH, you may receive SSH access to the account via your Hepsia Control Panel. If your plan doesn't come with this feature by default, you may add it with a couple of clicks from the Upgrades menu. In the SSH section of the CP, you shall see the host, the port number and the username which you should use when you connect to the account. You could also select what password you want to use, given that it does not have to be the same as the one for the account. We've prepared many Help articles where you can find all the commands you will be able to use with a shared hosting plan, along with examples of how they're used. Additionally, if SSH access is allowed for your account, you shall be able to establish a Secure FTP (SFTP) connection by using a standard client like FileZilla, for instance.
SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Hosting
SSH access is available by default with some of our semi-dedicated server solutions, while with others you will be able to add it from the hosting CP if needed - even just for the current month. In either case, you can activate and de-activate the function with only one mouse click through the SSH section of the Control Panel. In the same location, you will find the server name, the port number and the username needed to connect to our platform. You will also find a box in which you can type the password which you want to use, as it does not need to be the same as the one you use to log into the Control Panel. For better protection, you could also change it as much as you want. A complete list of the commands that can be performed inside a semi-dedicated account is available in our Knowledge Base, together with the syntax and a number of examples. An extra function after SSH access is enabled shall be the ability to connect to your hosting space via SFTP through any FTP client that supports this sort of connections.
SSH Telnet in VPS Hosting
You'll be able to use SSH to manage your content no matter which Linux VPS hosting packages you select when you sign up, as all our plans come with this function as standard. You'll not need to add or allow anything by hand - immediately after your hosting server is ready and you get the Welcome e mail with the login info, you may connect and begin working on your websites or any software you want to set up and run on the web server. You'll have root-level access to the VPS and since the account shall be separated from the other accounts within the physical server, you shall be able to do anything you would like with no restrictions. You can set up any application you need and which shall run on a Linux-based hosting server, restart any software server (web, database, game, media, etc.) and handle your files and databases fast and easy.
