Secure Shell, commonly known as SSH, is a cryptographic network protocol used to execute commands on a remote web server or to exchange data between a web server and a client. Given that the information exchanged by the two sides is protected, a 3rd party simply cannot intercept it, which makes SSH a preferred means of controlling a web hosting account. The commands which could be executed are determined by the type of hosting service. On a shared server, for example, the choices are limited as you shall not have root access to the machine, so you can 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 within the shared hosting account and do not need a higher level of access. Using a virtual or a dedicated server, you'll have the option to set up server-side software or to restart the machine or only a particular service (web server, database server, etc.). SSH commands are submitted through a command line, but if you don't employ a UNIX-like Operating System, there are a variety of apps for other OSs, which you can employ to connect to the remote hosting server as well.
SSH Telnet in Shared Hosting
If the shared hosting package deal which you’ve selected throughout the signup process provides SSH access by default, you shall be able to activate this function with just a click from your Hepsia Control Panel. If you have selected a different package, the SSH access function may be included via the Upgrades menu and it'll become available immediately. All the details that you need to connect shall be conveniently listed inside the SSH section of the Control Panel - the hostname, the username and the port number. You can also set what password to use from the same location and you'll be able to change it at any time. All commands that are allowed are listed in the Help articles which we have prepared for you, together with examples of the syntax that you must use. An additional advantage of allowing SSH access to your account is that you will be able to upload files using an SFTP connection.
SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Servers
All our semi-dedicated server accounts provide the possibility to access and handle them using SSH. If the package deal which you have picked incorporates this function by default, you simply have to enable the SSH access feature using the corresponding section of the Hepsia Control Panel. If the function is listed as an additional upgrade, you are able to quickly add it via the Add Services/Upgrades link within the Hepsia Control Panel and it will be available within a minute. We have numerous help articles and educational videos concerning the use of SSH commands to manage your account and an entire list of the commands that you can perform alongside various examples to give you a better idea of what you could do. If SSH is active, you'll also be able to create an SFTP connection to the account and to upload information safely via any FTP app that supports the function.
SSH Telnet in VPS Servers
You shall be able to use SSH to manage your content no matter which VPS web hosting plans you select when you sign up, since all our packages include this feature by default. You will not have to include or activate anything by hand - the instant your hosting server is ready and you receive the Welcome email with the login credentials, you'll be able to connect and begin working on your Internet sites or any software which you want to install and run on the hosting server. You shall have root-level access to the VPS and because the account will be separated from all of the other accounts in the physical server, you will be able to do anything you need without any restrictions. You could install any app you need and that shall run on a Linux-based hosting server, reboot any software server (web, database, game, media, etc.) and manage your files and databases efficiently.
