SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol employed to exchange encrypted info between a client and a server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any information. Many tech-savvy clients choose SSH mainly because of the higher security level. The connection is made and the commands are sent using a command line. The available options depend on the type of Internet hosting service - on a shared server, for instance, 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 considerably more - the web server and the database server may be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software may be installed plus much more. These things are not possible on a shared server, for the reason that full root access is needed and all the other customers on that server would be affected. Even though SSH is used largely with UNIX-like OSs, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so on.

In case you have a cloud website hosting account with us and you want to handle your content remotely through SSH, you can easily obtain SSH access to the account using your Hepsia Control Panel.

In 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 like to use, as it doesn't have to be the same as the one for the account. We have prepared a number of Help articles in which you may find all the commands you will be able to use with a shared hosting plan, plus examples of how they are used. Moreover, if SSH access is permitted for your account, you'll be able to establish a Secure FTP (SFTP) connection via a standard client such as FileZilla, for example.

SSH Telnet in VPS Servers

All our VPS server plans feature SSH access as standard, so you won't have to add any upgrades or enable anything - as soon as the server is set up and you receive its login info, you'll be able to connect via its main IP address and the login credentials that you've chosen during the signup procedure. Due to the fact that the VPS accounts include full root-level access, there are no restrictions with regards to the commands which you could run. Your server shall be isolated from the other ones on the physical machine, so you'll be able to manage more or less everything via a command line, including server-side software installations and reboots. In this way, you'll be able to work with your files, databases and any apps you install in a fast and risk-free way.
