Secure Shell, commonly known as SSH, is a cryptographic network protocol that is used to execute commands on a remote machine or to exchange data between a website hosting server and a client. Due to the fact that the information exchanged by the 2 sides is protected, a third party won't be able to intercept it, which makes SSH a preferred means of managing an Internet hosting account. The commands that can be executed are determined by the type of hosting service. On a shared web server, for instance, the options are limited since you will not have root access to the machine, so you could only create/move/delete files, set up and unpack archives, import and export databases, etcetera. They're all actions which are carried out inside the shared hosting account and don't require a higher level of access. With 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 specific service (web server, database server, etc.). SSH commands are submitted through a command line, and if you don't use a UNIX-like OS, there are a number of applications for other OSs, that you can employ to connect to the remote hosting server as well.
SSH Telnet in Hosting
If the hosting package deal that you’ve chosen through the signup process provides SSH access as standard, you will be able to activate this function with just a mouse click in your Hepsia Control Panel. In case you have selected a different plan, the SSH access function could be added via the Upgrades menu and it shall become available right away. All the details that you need to connect will be conveniently listed within the SSH section of the CP - the hostname, the username and the port number. You could 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 within the Help articles which we have prepared for you, in addition to examples of the syntax which you need to use. An additional advantage of permitting SSH access to your account is that you will be able to upload files through an SFTP connection.
SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Servers
You shall be able to connect to your semi-dedicated server account through SSH regardless of which plan you pick when you sign up. With some packages, the function is provided as standard, while with others, it can be included as an extra upgrade for as long as you need it. You shall find the necessary login information within the Hepsia CP, included with all accounts - the host/server name, the port number and the login name. You could choose the password that you will use and if you want, you could change it regularly with a few mouse clicks for even higher security. You will be able to see all the commands you can use in advance, since we've listed them alongside examples of how they are used so as to execute a particular task. The moment SSH access to your semi-dedicated server account is allowed, you will be able to use an FTP program and establish an SFTP connection.
SSH Telnet in VPS Servers
All our VPS server solutions feature SSH access by default, so you will not have to add any upgrades or enable anything - the moment the server is set up and you receive its login info, you shall be able to connect via its main IP address and the login credentials which you have picked during the signup process. Since the VPS accounts include full root-level access, there aren't any restrictions with regards to the commands which you could run. Your server shall be isolated from the others on the physical machine, so you will be able to manage more or less everything via a command line, including server-side software installations and reboots. Thus, you are able to work with your files, databases and any apps which you install in a fast and risk-free way.
