SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol that's used to exchange encrypted info between a client and a website hosting server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any data. Many tech-savvy users choose SSH mainly because of the higher level of security. The connection is established and the commands are sent through a command line. The offered options depend on the type of hosting service - on a shared server, for example, files could be transferred or deleted, databases could be imported and exported, and archives can be set up or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your options are considerably more - the web server and the database server can be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software could be set up and much more. These things aren't possible on a shared server, because full root access is required and all the other customers on that server will be affected. Although SSH is employed predominantly with UNIX-like OSs, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, etc.

When you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you will be able to get SSH access to it with only a click from the corresponding section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, provided with all accounts. If your package does not support this feature by default, you'll be able to add it without difficulty via the Upgrades menu. After you go to the SSH section, you will find the info you need to connect to the server via a command line or a desktop app - the server/host, the port number, the username and the password. The latter may be updated at any time, if necessary. These login credentials are also required if you'd like to upload files via a secure connection and you would like to use SFTP, which is also part of the SSH access service that we provide. A thorough list of the commands you can execute will offer you a better idea of what tasks you may perform inside your account and each is accompanied by a few instances of the syntax.

SSH Telnet in VPS Web Hosting

Due to the fact that the VPS accounts feature full root-level access, there are no restrictions in terms of the commands that you may run. Your server will be isolated from the others on the physical machine, so you'll be able to manage virtually everything using a command line, including server-side software installations and reboots. Thus, you'll be able to work with your files, databases and any apps you install in a fast and risk-free way.
