SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol used to connect to a web server and conduct different tasks using a command line. The protocol is popular with many knowledgeable users, for the reason that 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 lots of things depending on the type of web 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. In case you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH may be used for just about anything - you could install software or restart particular services like the web server or the database server that run on the machine. SSH is used mainly with UNIX-like Platforms, but there are clients that enable you to employ the protocol if your computer system is using a different Operating System too. The connection is made on TCP port 22 by default and the remote server always listens for incoming connections on that port even though a number of providers change it for security reasons.
SSH Telnet in Cloud Website Hosting
If you have a cloud website hosting account with our company and you'd like to manage your content remotely using SSH, you could obtain SSH access to the account through your Hepsia Control Panel. If your package does not include this feature by default, you may add it with a few clicks from the Upgrades menu. In the SSH section of the CP, you'll see the host, the port number and the username that you should use when you connect to the account. You can also choose what password you would like to use, given that it does not have to be the same as the one for the account. We've prepared a number of Help articles where you can find all of the commands that you'll be able to use with a shared hosting package, along with examples of how they are used. Furthermore, 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 VPS Servers
All our VPS server packages include SSH access as standard, so you won't have to include any upgrades or activate anything - as soon as the server is set up and you receive its login details, you'll be able to connect using its primary IP address and the login credentials that you've picked throughout the signup process. Since the VPS accounts include full root-level access, there aren't any restrictions with regards to the commands that you can run. Your server shall be isolated from the other ones on the physical machine, so you will be able to manage pretty much everything using a command line, including server-side software installations and reboots. This way, you can work with your files, databases and any apps which you install in a fast and risk-free way.
