SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol used to connect to a server and perform different tasks using a command line. The protocol is popular with many skilled users, as the data transmitted over it is encrypted, so it can't be intercepted on the way by a third party. SSH access can be employed for a variety of things based on the type of hosting account. With a shared hosting account, for instance, SSH is one of several ways to import/export a database or to upload a file if the website hosting server allows it. If you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH can be used for just about everything - you can install software or restart certain services including the web server or the database server which run on the machine. SSH is employed mainly with UNIX-like Systems, but there are clients that allow you to use the protocol if your PC is using a different Operating System as well. The connection is created on TCP port 22 by default and the remote web server always listens for incoming connections on that port although a number of providers change it for security reasons.

SSH Telnet in Cloud Web Hosting

If you have a cloud web hosting account with our company and you would like to deal with your content remotely via SSH, you can get SSH access to the account through your Hepsia Control Panel. If your plan doesn't come with this feature as standard, you can add it with a couple of mouse clicks through the Upgrades menu. In the SSH section of the CP, you shall see the host, the port number and the username which you should use when you connect to the account. You can even select what password you want to use, as it does not have to be the same as the one for the account. We have prepared many Help articles where you can easily find all of the commands that you'll be able to use with a shared hosting package, plus examples of how they're used. Moreover, if SSH access is permitted for your account, you will be able to establish a Secure FTP (SFTP) connection via a standard client like FileZilla, for instance.

SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All our semi-dedicated server accounts provide you with the possibility to access and control them using SSH. If the package deal that you've chosen includes this function by default, you simply need to allow the SSH access feature via the corresponding section of the Hepsia Control Panel. If the function is listed as an additional upgrade, you can quickly include it via the Add Services/Upgrades link within the Hepsia CP and it will be available within a minute. We have various help articles and educational videos about the use of SSH commands to handle your account and an entire list of the commands you can carry out alongside several examples to give you a better understanding of what you could do. If SSH is active, you'll also be able to set up an SFTP connection to the account and to upload files safely via any FTP application that supports the function.

SSH Telnet in VPS Hosting

You'll be able to use SSH to handle your content regardless of which Linux virtual private servers you choose when you sign up, as all of our packages offer this feature as standard. You'll not have to add or allow anything by hand - as soon as your hosting server is prepared and you receive the Welcome e-mail with the login details, you can connect and begin working on your websites or any software which you want to set up and run on the server. You'll have root-level access to the VPS and because the account shall be isolated from all the other accounts on the physical hosting server, you will be able to do anything you need without any restrictions. You may set up any application you need and that shall work on a Linux-based server, reboot any software server (web, database, game, media, etc.) and manage your files and databases efficiently.
