SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol that's used to exchange encoded information between a client and a hosting server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any data. Many tech-savvy users favor SSH mainly because of the enhanced level of security. The connection is made and the commands are sent using a command line. The accessible options depend on the type of Internet hosting service - on a shared server, for example, files can be moved or deleted, databases can be imported and exported, and archives could be set up or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your options are much more - the web server and the database server could be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software can be set up and more. These things are not possible on a shared server, due to the fact that full root access is needed and all the other customers on that server will be affected. Though SSH is employed largely with UNIX-like OSs, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so forth.
SSH Telnet in Web Hosting
If the web hosting package that you’ve selected throughout the signup procedure includes SSH access as standard, you will be able to activate this feature with just a click in your Hepsia Control Panel. If you've chosen a different plan, the SSH access function may be added via the Upgrades menu and it'll become available straightaway. All the details that you need to connect will be conveniently listed inside the SSH section of the CP - the hostname, the username and the port number. You may also set what password to use from the same place and you shall be able to modify it whenever you want. All commands that are permitted are listed within the Help articles which we've prepared for you, in addition to examples of the syntax that you should use. An additional advantage of enabling SSH access to your account is that you will be able to upload files using an SFTP connection.
SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you'll be able to get SSH access to it with only a mouse click from the corresponding section of the Hepsia hosting CP, offered with all accounts. If your plan doesn't support this function by default, you'll be able to add it with ease through the Upgrades menu. When you go to the SSH section, you shall discover the info you need to connect to the server via a command line or a desktop application - the server/host, the port number, the username and the password. The latter can be updated at any time, if needed. These login credentials are also required if you would like to upload files through a secure connection and you would like to use SFTP, which is also part of the SSH access service we provide you with. A thorough list of the commands you can carry out shall give you a better idea of what tasks you may perform within your account and each one is accompanied by a few instances of the syntax.
SSH Telnet in VPS Servers
The VPS server packages that we offer include SSH access by default, not as a paid upgrade or a feature that you must activate. As soon as your new server is prepared, you shall be able to connect and begin working on your content via the login details you have entered through the order process. A copy of the SSH credentials will be sent to you via e mail as well. As your VPS will be isolated from the other ones on the physical server, there are no limitations as to what you can or can't do through SSH. You'll be able to download, set up and manage any piece of software that will run on a Linux server, reboot the entire server or simply a particular software component, and work with files, folders and databases with virtually no restrictions. All you'll need for that is a console or an SSH client on your end.
