SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol which is used to connect to a server and perform different tasks using a command line. The protocol is popular with many experienced users, for the reason that the data transmitted over it is encrypted, so it cannot be intercepted on the way by a 3rd party. SSH access may be employed for a number of things depending on the type of hosting account. With a shared hosting account, for example, SSH is one of the ways to import/export a database or to upload a file if the web server allows it. In case you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH may be used for virtually anything - you may install software or restart specific services like the web server or the database server that run on the machine. SSH is employed typically with UNIX-like Platforms, but there are clients which enable you to employ the protocol if your PC is running a different OS too. The connection is established on TCP port 22 by default and the remote web server always listens for incoming connections on that port although a number of providers change it for security reasons.

SSH Telnet in Shared Web Hosting

SSH access is featured with all Linux shared web hosting we offer you. With some of them, it's provided as standard, while with others it is an optional upgrade that you can include with a few clicks in your hosting CP. You can get SSH access from the section related to it in which you will also find the details that you need to connect - the host, the port number and the username. You may pick the password which you'll use and, if necessary, you shall be able to change it with several clicks from the same spot. All the commands that could be used with our shared packages are listed within a help article alongside relevant instances. If the SSH access function is permitted for your account, you will also be able to upload files through your preferred FTP client via an SFTP connection.

SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you have a semi-dedicated server account with us, you shall be able to receive SSH access to it with only a click from the corresponding section of the Hepsia hosting CP, which comes with all accounts. If your package does not support this function by default, you will be able to add it with ease through the Upgrades menu. Once you go to the SSH section, you'll discover the details which you need to connect to the server through a command line or a desktop app - the server/host, the port number, the username and the password. The latter could be updated anytime, if needed. These login credentials are also required if you want to upload files via a secure connection and you want to use SFTP, which is also part of the SSH access service we provide you with. A complete list of the commands which you can execute shall provide you with a better idea of what tasks you could perform within your account and each one is accompanied by a few examples of the syntax.

SSH Telnet in VPS Hosting

You will be able to use SSH to control your content regardless which Linux virtual private servers you pick when you sign up, as all our plans provide this feature by default. You will not need to include or allow anything manually - the minute your web server is ready and you get the Welcome email with the login information, you may connect and start working on your web sites or any software that you want to set up and run on the machine. You'll have root-level access to the VPS and due to the fact that the account will be separated from all the other accounts on the physical web server, you will be able to do anything you'd like with no restrictions. You'll be able to set up any application you require and that shall work on a Linux-based server, restart any software server (web, database, game, media, etc.) and handle your files and databases quickly and easily.
