SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol employed to connect to a server and conduct various tasks using a command line. The protocol is used by many expert users, for the reason that the information transmitted over it is encrypted, so it may not be intercepted on the way by a 3rd party. SSH access can be employed for lots of things depending on the type of web hosting account. With a shared hosting account, for example, SSH is among the ways to import/export a database or to upload a file in case the hosting server allows for it. If you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH may be used for virtually everything - you could install software or restart specific services such as the web server or the database server which run on the machine. SSH is used mainly with UNIX-like Systems, but there are clients which permit you to employ the protocol if your computer is using a different OS as well. The connection is made on TCP port 22 by default and the remote server always listens for incoming connections on that port although a lot of service providers change it for security reasons.
SSH Telnet in Website Hosting
SSH access is offered with all Linux website hosting which we provide. With some of them, it is included by default, while with others it is an optional upgrade you can include with a couple of clicks in your web hosting CP. You may get SSH access through the section dedicated to it in which you can also find the info which you need to connect - the host, the port number and the username. You will be able to pick the password which you will use and, if required, you will be able to change it with a few clicks from the same location. All the commands which can be used with our shared plans are listed within a help article alongside relevant instances. If the SSH access function is allowed 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 Servers
All our semi-dedicated server accounts offer the possibility to access and control them using SSH. If the package that you have picked includes this feature by default, you simply need to activate the SSH access function through the corresponding section of the Hepsia CP. If the feature is listed as an additional upgrade, you may quickly add it via the Add Services/Upgrades link in the Hepsia Control Panel 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 a whole list of the commands you can perform along with numerous examples to offer you a better understanding of what you can do. If SSH is active, you will also be able to create an SFTP connection to the account and to upload files safely and securely through any FTP app that supports the feature.
SSH Telnet in VPS Servers
If you acquire a new VPS server from us, it shall provide full root access and you will be able to connect to the server and to manage everything using an SSH console. The function comes by default with all packages, so you shall not have to activate or upgrade anything. Your server will be set up right after you order it and as soon as you receive the Welcome e-mail with the login information, you may connect through the server’s main IP address and start working. Since the VPS is a software emulation of a dedicated server and is separated from the other accounts inside the physical machine, there will be no restrictions in terms of the commands that you can use. You shall have full root access, so you can set up and run any app that can work on a Linux hosting server, manage files, folders and databases or start/stop/reboot your entire machine or any software running on it.
