SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol that's used to exchange encrypted information between a client and a server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any info. Many tech-savvy customers favor SSH due to the better security level. The connection is established and the commands are delivered through a command line. The accessible options depend on the type of Internet hosting service - on a shared server, for instance, files can be relocated or deleted, databases can be imported and exported, and archives could be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, the options are a lot more - the web server and the database server may be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software may be installed plus much more. These things aren't possible on a shared server, since full root access is needed and all the other customers on that server would be affected. Although SSH is employed predominantly with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so forth.

SSH Telnet in Cloud Web Hosting

If the cloud web hosting package which you’ve selected during the signup process provides SSH access by default, you shall be able to activate this function with simply a click inside your Hepsia Control Panel. If you have selected a different plan, the SSH access function could be added using the Upgrades menu and it'll become available right away. All the info which you need connect will be conveniently listed inside the SSH section of the CP - the hostname, the username and the port number. You can also set what password to use from the same location and you'll be able to modify it anytime. All commands which are permitted are listed within the Help articles that we've prepared for you, in addition to examples of the syntax that you must use. An additional advantage of enabling SSH access to your account is that you'll be able to upload files using an SFTP connection.

SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Servers

SSH access is available as standard with some of our semi-dedicated server plans, while with others you will be able to include it from the hosting CP if necessary - even just for the current month. In any case, you are able to activate and de-activate the function with a single mouse click via the SSH section of the Control Panel. In the same place, you will discover the server name, the port number and the username needed to connect to our platform. You'll also find a box in which you can easily input the password you want to use, because it doesn't need to be the same as the one you use to log into the CP. For better protection, you could also change it as much as you want. The full list of the commands which can be executed inside a semi-dedicated account is provided in our Knowledge Base, together with the syntax and a number of instances. An extra feature after SSH access is enabled will be the ability to connect to your hosting space via SFTP using any FTP client that supports such connections.

SSH Telnet in VPS Servers

If you get a new VPS server from us, it shall feature full root access and you'll be able to connect to the server and to handle everything using an SSH console. The function comes as standard with all plans, so you won't need to allow or upgrade anything. Your server will be set up immediately after you get it and as soon as you get the Welcome e mail with the login info, you could connect using the server’s primary IP address and begin working. Since the VPS is a software emulation of a dedicated server and is separated from the other accounts on the physical machine, there will be no restrictions regarding the commands you can use. You'll have full root access, so that you could install and run any application which can work on a Linux server, manage files, folders and databases or start/stop/reboot the whole machine or any software running on it.
