Secure Shell, better known as SSH, is a cryptographic network protocol used to execute commands on a remote web server or to exchange data between a server and a client. Because the data exchanged by the two sides is encrypted, a third party cannot intercept it, which makes SSH a favorite means of handling a hosting account. The commands that can be executed depend on the type of hosting service. On a shared server, for example, the choices are limited since you will not have root access to the hosting server, so you could only create/move/delete files, set up and unpack archives, import and export databases, etc. These are all actions that are carried out 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 install server-side software or to restart the server or just a certain service (web server, database server, etc.). SSH commands are submitted with a command line, but if you don't employ a UNIX-like Operating System, there are tons of apps for other OSs, that you can use to connect to the remote server as well.
SSH Telnet in Cloud Hosting
SSH access could be enabled with a mouse click from the Hepsia Control Panel if the Linux cloud hosting which you have selected provides this function as standard. If not, you could include it using the Add Services/Upgrades section of your CP and enable it straightaway. You'll discover all the details which you need inside the SSH section of the CP - the host, the port number and the username which you have to use, along with comprehensive Help articles in which we've listed each of the commands that you can use in the account and examples of the syntax you have to use. The SSH password may be modified from the exact same section at any time with a few mouse clicks. As long as SSH access is enabled, you shall also be able to connect securely via an FTP client too. With an SFTP connection, all of the files which you upload shall go through an encrypted connection.
SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Hosting
When you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you'll be able to get SSH access to it with a mouse click from the corresponding section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, supplied with all accounts. If your plan does not support this feature by default, you shall be able to add it easily through the Upgrades menu. After you go to the SSH section, you'll find the details that you need to connect to the server through a command line or a desktop application - the server/host, the port number, the username and the password. The latter may be updated at any time, if necessary. These login credentials are also essential if you want to upload files through a secure connection and you wish to use SFTP, which is also part of the SSH access service we provide. A comprehensive list of the commands which you can execute shall provide you with a better idea of what tasks you can perform within your account and each is accompanied by a couple of instances of the syntax.
SSH Telnet in VPS
The virtual private server solutions we offer include SSH access by default, not as an optional upgrade or a function that you should activate. The moment your new server is ready, you shall be able to connect and start working on your content through the login details which you have entered through the order process. A copy of the SSH credentials will be sent to you via e-mail too. Because your VPS will be isolated from the others on the physical web server, there aren't any limitations as to what you can or cannot do via SSH. You'll be able to download, install and manage any piece of software that will run on a Linux machine, reboot the whole server or simply a particular software component, and work with files, folders and databases with virtually no restrictions. All you'll need for this is a console or an SSH client on your end.
