SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol which is used to exchange encrypted information between a client and a server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any data. Many tech-savvy clients favor SSH due to the improved level of security. The connection is made and the commands are delivered using a command line. The available options depend on the type of Internet hosting service - on a shared server, for instance, files could be moved or deleted, databases may be imported and exported, and archives may be set up 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 can be set up and a lot more. These things aren't possible on a shared server, since full root access is needed and all the other customers on that server shall be affected. Though SSH is used predominantly with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so forth.

SSH Telnet in Hosting

In case you have a hosting account with our company and you would like to deal with your content remotely through SSH, you may get SSH access to the account via your Hepsia Control Panel. If your package deal doesn't provide this feature as standard, you can easily add it with a few clicks via the Upgrades menu. Within the SSH section of the Control Panel, you will see the host, the port number and the username that you should use when you connect to the account. You can even choose what password you would like to use, considering that it does not need to be the same as the one for the account. We have prepared many Help articles where you can find all the commands that you will be able to use with a shared hosting plan, plus examples of how they're used. In addition, if SSH access is permitted for your account, you will be able to establish a Secure FTP (SFTP) connection using a standard client such as FileZilla, for example.
