Secure Shell, commonly known as SSH, is a cryptographic network protocol employed to execute commands on a remote web server or to exchange data between a server and a client. Because the data exchanged by the 2 sides is encrypted, a third party won't be able to intercept it, which makes SSH a preferred means of managing an Internet hosting account. The commands which may be executed depend on the type of hosting service. On a shared web server, for instance, the alternatives are limited since you'll not have root access to the server, so you may simply create/move/delete files, create and unpack archives, import and export databases, and so on. These are all actions which are executed in the shared hosting account and do not need a higher level of access. With a virtual or a dedicated server, you'll have the option to install server-side software or to restart the web server or just a certain service (web server, database server, etc.). SSH commands are submitted via a command line, but if you don't use a UNIX-like Operating System, there are a number of applications for other OSs, which you can use to connect to the remote server as well.
SSH Telnet in Web Hosting
If the web hosting package deal that you’ve selected through the signup procedure includes SSH access as standard, you shall be able to activate this function with just a mouse click from your Hepsia CP. In case you have selected a different package, the SSH access function can be added via the Upgrades menu and it will become available right away. All the information you need to connect shall be conveniently listed within the SSH section of the CP - the hostname, the username and the port number. You can also set what password to use from the same spot and you shall be able to change it at any time. All of the commands that are permitted are listed in the Help articles which we have prepared for you, in addition to examples of the syntax which you need to use. An additional advantage of allowing SSH access to your account is that you'll be able to upload files via an SFTP connection.
SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Servers
All our semi-dedicated server accounts offer the possibility to access and control them via SSH. If the package deal which you have picked comes with this feature by default, you simply need to activate the SSH access feature using the corresponding section of the Hepsia Control Panel. If the feature is listed as an optional upgrade, you could quickly add it through the Add Services/Upgrades link within the Hepsia CP and it will be available within a minute. We have numerous help articles and instructional videos about the use of SSH commands to manage your account and a full list of the commands which you can perform alongside several examples to offer you a better perception of what you can do. If SSH is enabled, you will also be able to establish an SFTP connection to the account and to upload files safely through any FTP application that supports the feature.
SSH Telnet in VPS Servers
You'll be able to use SSH to manage your content irrespective of which VPS web hosting plans you choose when you sign up, as all our packages provide this feature as standard. You won't need to include or allow anything manually - as soon as your hosting server is ready and you get the Welcome e-mail with the login details, you could connect and begin working on your Internet sites or any software that you want to install and run on the hosting server. You shall have root-level access to the VPS and due to the fact that the account shall be separated from the other accounts on the physical hosting server, you'll be able to do anything you need with no restrictions. You may install any application which you need and that shall run on a Linux-based web server, restart any software server (web, database, game, media, etc.) and handle your files and databases efficiently.
