SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol that is used to transfer encrypted data between a client and a hosting server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any information. Many tech-savvy users opt for SSH due to the enhanced level of security. The connection is made and the commands are sent using a command line. The offered options depend on the type of hosting service - on a shared server, in particular, files can be moved or deleted, databases can be imported and exported, and archives can be set up or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, the choices are much 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 are not possible on a shared server, for the reason that full root access is required and all the other customers on that server shall be affected. Although SSH is employed predominantly with UNIX-like OSs, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so on.
SSH Telnet in Shared Hosting
In case you have a shared hosting account with us and you want to manage your content remotely through SSH, you can easily get SSH access to the account through your Hepsia Control Panel. If your package deal doesn't include this feature as standard, you may add it with a few mouse clicks from the Upgrades menu. Inside the SSH section of the CP, you'll see the host, the port number and the username that you should use when you connect to the account. You may also choose what password you would want to use, given that it does not have to be the same as the one for the account. We've prepared many Help articles where you can find all the commands that you'll be able to use with a shared hosting package, along with examples of how they are used. Additionally, if SSH access is permitted for your account, you shall be able to establish a Secure FTP (SFTP) connection via a standard client such as FileZilla, for instance.

You can discover the necessary login details within the Hepsia Control Panel, included with all accounts - the host/server name, the port number and the login name. You could select the password you'll use and if you want to, you can change it on a regular basis with several mouse clicks for even higher security. You will be able to see all the commands that you can use upfront, as we have listed them all alongside examples of how they are used to carry out a certain task.

SSH Telnet in VPS Hosting
You shall be able to use SSH to manage your content irrespective of which Linux VPS hosting packages you pick when you sign up, due to the fact that all our plans provide this feature as standard.

You'll have root-level access to the VPS and since the account will be isolated from the other accounts within the physical server, you'll be able to do anything you would like without any restrictions. You can install any app you require and that shall run on a Linux-based machine, restart any software server (web, database, game, media, etc.) and manage your files and databases quickly and easily.
