SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol used to transfer encoded data between a client and a hosting server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any data. Many tech-savvy clients opt for SSH mainly because of the better level of security. The connection is created and the commands are delivered through a command line. The available options depend on the type of hosting service - on a shared server, for example, files may be relocated or deleted, databases can be imported and exported, and archives may be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your options are considerably more - the web server and the database server may be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software can be installed and more. These things aren't possible on a shared server, for the reason that full root access is required and all the other customers on that server shall be affected. Even though SSH is employed largely with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so on.
SSH Telnet in Hosting
SSH access is available with all Linux hosting which we offer. With some of them, it is included by default, while with others it's an additional upgrade you can add with just a few clicks in your web hosting Control Panel. You can obtain SSH access from the section dedicated to it where you will also find the information you need to connect - the host, the port number and the username. You may pick the password that you shall use and, if needed, you'll be able to change it with a couple of clicks from the same place. All commands that could be used with our shared packages are listed in a help article alongside relevant instances. If the SSH access function is allowed for your account, you shall also be able to upload files using your favorite FTP client via an SFTP connection.
SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Servers

With some plans, the feature is included as standard, while with others, it may be added as an extra upgrade for as long as you need it. You shall discover the required login info within the Hepsia Control Panel, provided with all accounts - the host/server name, the port number and the login name. You can select the password which you'll use and if you want, you may change it all the time with several mouse clicks for even better security.

SSH Telnet in VPS Servers
All our VPS server packages provide SSH access as standard, so you shall not need 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 through its main IP address and the login credentials that you have chosen throughout the signup process. Because the VPS accounts include full root-level access, there aren't any restrictions with regards to the commands that you may run. Your server shall be isolated from the other ones on the physical machine, so you shall be able to manage virtually everything through a command line, including server-side software installations and reboots. That way, you can work with your files, databases and any apps which you install in a fast and safe way.
