SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol used to connect to a web server and conduct different tasks via a command line. The protocol is preferred by many skilled users, due to the fact that the data transmitted over it is encrypted, so it cannot be intercepted on the way by a 3rd party. SSH access could 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 the ways to import/export a database or to upload a file in case the web server permits it. If you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH may be used for pretty much everything - you could install software or restart certain services including the web server or the database server that run on the machine. SSH is employed typically with UNIX-like Operating Systems, but there are clients which permit you to use the protocol if your personal computer is working with a different Operating System as well. The connection is established on TCP port 22 by default and the remote hosting server always listens for incoming connections on that port even though lots of providers change it for security reasons.

SSH Telnet in Shared Website Hosting

If you have a shared website hosting account with our company and you'd like to deal with your content remotely via SSH, you can receive SSH access to the account through your Hepsia Control Panel. If your package doesn't include this feature as standard, you could add it with a few mouse clicks from the Upgrades menu. Within the SSH section of the Control Panel, you'll see the host, the port number and the username that you should use when you connect to the account. You can also select what password you would want to use, considering that it doesn't need to be the same as the one for your account. We've prepared numerous Help articles in which you may find each of the commands that you'll be able to use with a shared hosting plan, along with examples of how they are used. Furthermore, if SSH access is permitted for your account, you'll be able to establish a Secure FTP (SFTP) connection via a standard client such as FileZilla, for example.

When you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you'll be able to receive SSH access to it with just a mouse click from the corresponding section of the Hepsia hosting CP, offered with all accounts. If your package does not support this function by default, you will be able to add it with ease via the Upgrades menu. When you go to the SSH section, you will find the details which you need to connect to the server via a command line or a desktop application - 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 using a secure connection and you wish to use SFTP, which is also part of the SSH access service we provide. An extensive list of the commands which you can carry out shall provide you with a better idea of what tasks you may perform in your account and each one is accompanied by a couple of examples of the syntax.

SSH Telnet in VPS Web Hosting

When you get a new virtual private server from us, it'll provide full root access and you will be able to connect to the server and to control everything via an SSH console. The function is included by default with all package deals, so you won't need to enable or upgrade anything. Your hosting server shall be set up soon after you purchase it and the instant you get the Welcome e-mail with the login details, you may connect via the server’s main IP address and start working. Since the VPS is a software emulation of a dedicated server and is separated from the other accounts within the physical machine, there won't be any restrictions regarding the commands which you can use. You shall have full root access, so that you can set up and run any application that can work on a Linux hosting server, manage files, folders and databases or start/stop/reboot the entire machine or any software running on it.
