Secure Shell, commonly known as SSH, is a cryptographic network protocol employed to execute commands on a remote hosting server or to exchange info between a hosting server and a client. Because the info exchanged by the 2 sides is encoded, a 3rd party simply cannot intercept it, which makes SSH a favorite means of handling a hosting account. The commands that may be executed are determined by the type of hosting service. On a shared hosting server, in particular, the choices are limited as you'll not have root access to the hosting server, so you could simply create/move/delete files, set up and unpack archives, export and import databases, etc. They're all actions that are performed within the shared hosting account and don't require a higher level of access. Using a virtual or a dedicated server, you will be able to install server-side software or to restart the web server or only a particular service (web server, database server, etc.). SSH commands are submitted through a command line, but if you don't use a UNIX-like Operating System, there are a lot of apps for other OSs, that you can employ to connect to the remote hosting server as well.
SSH Telnet in Website Hosting
In case you have a website hosting account with our company and you want to deal with your content remotely through SSH, you can easily get SSH access to the account via your Hepsia Control Panel. If your package deal doesn't include this feature by default, you can add it with a couple of clicks via the Upgrades menu. Inside the SSH section of the Control Panel, you shall see the host, the port number and the username which you should use when you connect to the account. You may also choose what password you want to use, as it does not need to be the same as the one for the account. We have prepared many Help articles where you could find all of the commands that you will be able to use with a shared hosting package, plus examples of how they are used. Additionally, if SSH access is permitted for your account, you will be able to establish a Secure FTP (SFTP) connection by using a standard client such as FileZilla, for instance.
SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Servers
All our semi-dedicated server accounts offer the possibility to access and control them through SSH. If the plan you have selected comes with this feature by default, you just have to activate the SSH access function through the corresponding section of the Hepsia Control Panel. If the feature is listed as an additional upgrade, you could quickly include it using the Add Services/Upgrades link inside the Hepsia CP and it'll be available within a minute. We have a variety of help articles and instructional videos about the use of SSH commands to manage your account and an entire list of the commands you can carry out together with several examples to offer you a better understanding of what you can do. If SSH is enabled, you will also be able to create an SFTP connection to the account and to upload information safely and securely through any FTP app that supports the function.
SSH Telnet in VPS Servers
The VPS server packages which we offer feature SSH access as standard, not as an optional upgrade or a function which you have to enable. Once your new server is prepared, you will be able to connect and begin working on your content through the login details that you've entered throughout the order process. A copy of the SSH credentials shall be sent to you via e mail too. Since your VPS will be isolated from the other ones on the physical server, there are no limitations as to what you can or cannot do using SSH. You could download, install and manage any piece of software that will run on a Linux machine, reboot the entire server or just a particular software component, and work with files, folders and databases with virtually no restrictions. All you'll need for that is a console or an SSH client on your end.
