SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol that's used to transfer protected data between a client and a hosting server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any information. Many tech-savvy clients choose SSH mainly because of the better security level. The connection is established and the commands are delivered via a command line. The available options depend on the type of Internet hosting service - on a shared server, for example, files may be transferred or deleted, databases may be imported and exported, and archives can be set up or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your choices are a lot more - the web server and the database server could be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software may be installed plus much more. These things are not possible on a shared server, since full root access is needed and all the other customers on that server will be affected. Though SSH is used mainly with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so forth.
SSH Telnet in Cloud Hosting
In case you have a cloud hosting account with us and you want to handle your content remotely via SSH, you can easily get SSH access to the account via your Hepsia Control Panel. If your plan does not come with this feature by default, you can add it with several clicks via the Upgrades menu. Within the SSH section of the CP, you will see the host, the port number and the username which you should use when you connect to the account. You can also choose what password you would want to use, as it doesn't need to be the same as the one for your account. We've prepared many Help articles where you may find each of the commands you will be able to use with a shared hosting package, along with examples of how they are used. Furthermore, if SSH access is enabled for your account, you shall be able to establish a Secure FTP (SFTP) connection by using a standard client like FileZilla, for example.
SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You will be able to connect to your semi-dedicated server account through SSH regardless of which plan you select when you sign up. With some plans, the feature is offered as standard, while with others, it could be included as an optional upgrade for as long as you need it. You'll discover the required login information within the Hepsia CP, which comes with all accounts - the host/server name, the port number and the login name. You will be able to pick the password which you'll use and if you want to, you can change it constantly with several mouse clicks for even better security. You shall be able to see all the commands which you can use upfront, because we've listed them all along with examples of how they are used in order to accomplish a particular task. As soon as SSH access to your semi-dedicated server account is enabled, you'll be able to use an FTP program and establish an SFTP connection.
SSH Telnet in VPS
If you get a new virtual private server from us, it'll provide full root access and you'll be able to connect to the server and to manage everything via an SSH console. The function is provided as standard with all plans, so you shall not have to activate or upgrade anything. Your website hosting server will be set up immediately after you order it and the instant you get the Welcome e-mail with the login information, you may connect via the server’s main IP address and start working. Since the VPS is a software emulation of a dedicated server and is separated from the other accounts inside the physical machine, there won't be any restrictions with regards to the commands that you can use. You will have full root access, so that you may set up and run any app which can work on a Linux hosting server, manage files, folders and databases or start/stop/reboot the whole machine or any software operating on it.
