SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol used to connect to a web server and conduct various tasks via a command line. The protocol is used by many expert users, since the data transmitted over it is encrypted, so it cannot be intercepted on the way by a third party. SSH access may be used for a number of things with regards to the type of hosting account. With a shared hosting account, for instance, SSH is among the ways to import/export a database or to upload a file when the hosting server permits it. In case you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH may be used for pretty much everything - you could install software or restart specific services including the web server or the database server which run on the machine. SSH is employed largely with UNIX-like Platforms, but there are clients which permit you to employ the protocol if your laptop or computer is working with a different OS as well. The connection is made on TCP port 22 by default and the remote web server always listens for incoming connections on that port although a lot of service providers change it for security reasons.

SSH Telnet in Hosting

SSH access can be enabled with a click via the Hepsia Control Panel if the Linux hosting that you've selected offers this feature by default. If not, you can include it via the Add Services/Upgrades section of your Control Panel and enable it immediately. You'll find all the details which you need within the SSH section of the CP - the host, the port number and the username which you have to use, along with thorough Help articles in which we have listed the commands you can use within the account and examples of the syntax you have to use. The SSH password may be modified from the very same section at any time with a couple of clicks. As long as SSH access is enabled, you shall also be able to connect safely using an FTP client too. With an SFTP connection, all the files that you upload shall go through an encrypted connection.

SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Hosting

SSH Telnet in VPS

You shall be able to use SSH to handle your content regardless of which Linux VPS packages you choose when you sign up, since all our packages provide this feature by default.

You'll have root-level access to the VPS and because the account will be isolated from the other accounts within the physical web server, you'll be able to do anything you'd like with no restrictions. You may install any application you need and that will work on a Linux-based web server, reboot any software server (web, database, game, media, etc.) and work with your files and databases fast and easy.
