SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol used to transfer encrypted data between a client and a server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any info. Many tech-savvy clients prefer SSH due to the enhanced level of security. The connection is established and the commands are delivered via a command line. The offered options depend on the type of hosting service - on a shared server, for example, files may be transferred or deleted, databases could be imported and exported, and archives could be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your choices are significantly more - the web server and the database server could be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software could be set up and a lot more. These things aren't possible on a shared server, since full root access is needed and all the other clients on that server will be affected. Although SSH is used largely with UNIX-like OSs, there are SSH clients for other OSs too - Windows, Mac OS, and so forth.
SSH Telnet in Cloud Website Hosting
SSH access is offered with all Linux cloud website hosting packages that we offer. With some of them, it is featured as standard, while with others it's an additional upgrade which you can include with several clicks in your website hosting CP. You can obtain SSH access from the section related to it where you shall also find the details that you need to connect - the host, the port number and the username. You will be able to select the password that you'll use and, if needed, you will be able to modify it with a few clicks from the same place. All commands which could be used with our shared plans are listed in a help article along with relevant examples. If the SSH access feature is enabled for your account, you'll also be able to upload files using your favorite FTP client via an SFTP connection.
SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Hosting
All our semi-dedicated server accounts offer the possibility to access and handle them via SSH. If the package you have picked comes with this feature by default, you just have to activate the SSH access feature through the corresponding section of the Hepsia Control Panel. If the function is listed as an optional upgrade, you may quickly add it through the Add Services/Upgrades link within the Hepsia CP and it will be available within a minute. We have various help articles and educational videos regarding the use of SSH commands to manage your account and an entire list of the commands that you can execute along with a number of examples to offer you a better perception of what you can do. If SSH is enabled, you'll also be able to establish an SFTP connection to the account and to upload information safely through any FTP application which supports the feature.
SSH Telnet in VPS Hosting
The virtual private server plans which we offer come with SSH access by default, not as an optional upgrade or a feature that you must enable. As soon as your new server is prepared, you shall be able to connect and start working on your content via the login details which you have entered throughout the order procedure. A copy of the SSH credentials shall be sent to you via e-mail as well. Because your VPS will be isolated from the others on the physical web server, there aren't any limitations regarding what you can or can't do through SSH. You'll be able to download, set up and manage any piece of software that'll run on a Linux hosting server, reboot the whole server or simply a particular software component, and work with files, folders and databases with no restrictions. All you will need for this is a console or an SSH client on your end.
