SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol that's used to exchange encoded info between a client and a server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any data. Many tech-savvy users opt for SSH mainly because of the better security level. The connection is established and the commands are sent via a command line. The available options depend on the type of Internet hosting service - on a shared server, for example, files may be moved or deleted, databases may be imported and exported, and archives may be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your choices are significantly more - the web server and the database server may be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software could be set up and a lot more. These things aren't possible on a shared server, because full root access is needed and all the other clients on that server shall be affected. Although SSH is employed mainly with UNIX-like OSs, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so forth.

SSH access could be permitted with a mouse click from the Hepsia Control Panel if the cloud plan that you have selected comes with this feature as standard. If not, you may add it from the Add Services/Upgrades section of your Control Panel and enable it immediately. You'll discover all the information and facts that you need inside the SSH section of the CP - the host, the port number and the username which you need to use, as well as comprehensive Help articles in which we have listed the commands which you can use inside the account and examples of the syntax you have to use. The SSH password may be modified from the very same section anytime with several mouse clicks. Provided that SSH access is enabled, you will also be able to connect safely via an FTP client too. With an SFTP connection, each of the files which you upload shall go through an encrypted connection.
SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Servers
All our semi-dedicated server accounts provide you with the possibility to access and handle them using SSH.

SSH Telnet in VPS Servers
The VPS server plans we offer include SSH access as standard, not as an optional upgrade or a function which you need to activate. The moment your new server is ready, you'll be able to connect and start working on your content via the login details that you have entered throughout the order process. A copy of the SSH credentials shall be sent to you via e-mail too. Since your VPS shall be isolated from the others on the physical hosting server, there are no limitations as to what you can or can't do using SSH. You are able to download, install and manage any piece of software which will run on a Linux server, reboot the entire server or just a particular software component, and work with files, folders and databases with virtually no restrictions. All you'll require for this is a console or an SSH client on your end.
