SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol used to connect to a server and execute different tasks via a command line. The protocol is preferred by many skilled users, because the information transmitted over it is encrypted, so it may not be intercepted on the way by a third party. SSH access could be employed for lots of things based on the type of Internet hosting account. With a shared hosting account, for example, SSH is one of several ways to import/export a database or to upload a file in case the web server permits it. In case you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH could be used for practically anything - you could install software or restart certain services such as the web server or the database server that run on the machine. SSH is employed mainly with UNIX-like Systems, but there are clients which allow you to use the protocol if your computer system is using a different OS as well. The connection is established on TCP port 22 by default and the remote server always listens for incoming connections on that port even though lots of providers change it for security reasons.

SSH Telnet in Cloud Website Hosting

When you have a cloud website hosting account with us and you would like to manage your content remotely using SSH, you may obtain SSH access to the account using your Hepsia Control Panel. If your package deal does not provide this feature by default, you can easily add it with a few mouse clicks through the Upgrades menu. Inside the SSH section of the Control Panel, you shall see the host, the port number and the username you should use when you connect to the account. You may also pick what password you would like to use, as it doesn't need to be the same as the one for your account. We've prepared numerous Help articles where you can find all of the commands you will be able to use with a shared hosting package, as well as examples of how they're used. Additionally, if SSH access is permitted for your account, you'll be able to establish a Secure FTP (SFTP) connection via a standard client like FileZilla, for instance.

SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Servers

SSH access is offered as standard with some of our semi-dedicated server plans, while with others you could include it via the hosting CP if needed - even only for the current month. In either case, you could activate and de-activate the function with only one click from the SSH section of the CP. In the same spot, you'll see the server name, the port number and the username needed to connect to our platform. You shall also find a box where you may type the password that you would like to use, since it does not have to be the same as the one you use to log into the CP. For better security, you could also change it as much as you need. A complete list of the commands that can be performed inside a semi-dedicated account is available in our Knowledge Base, along with the syntax and a couple of examples. An extra function after SSH access is enabled shall be the ability to connect to your hosting space via SFTP through any FTP client which supports this sort of connections.

SSH Telnet in VPS Servers

When you get a new VPS server from our company, it'll come with full root access and you shall be able to connect to the server and to manage everything through an SSH console. The function is included by default with all packages, so you will not have to allow or upgrade anything. Your server shall be set up shortly after you get it and the instant you get the Welcome email with the login info, you may connect via the server’s main IP address and start working. Because the VPS is a software emulation of a dedicated server and is isolated from the other accounts within the physical machine, there'll be no restrictions in terms of the commands you can use. You'll have full root access, so that you may install and run any application that can work on a Linux hosting server, manage files, folders and databases or start/stop/reboot the whole machine or any software operating on it.
