SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol which is used to connect to a server and conduct various tasks via a command line. The protocol is used by many expert users, because the data transmitted over it is encrypted, so it may not be intercepted on the way by a 3rd party. SSH access could be used for a variety of things based on the type of hosting account. With a shared hosting account, in particular, SSH is one of several ways to import/export a database or to upload a file when the web server allows for it. In case you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH may be used for practically everything - you can install software or restart certain services like the web server or the database server that run on the machine. SSH is used primarily with UNIX-like Systems, but there are clients that allow you to use the protocol if your computer system is running a different Operating System too. The connection is created on TCP port 22 by default and the remote web server always listens for incoming connections on that port although lots of service providers change it for security reasons.
SSH Telnet in Cloud Web Hosting
SSH access can be enabled with a mouse click from the Hepsia Control Panel if the Linux cloud web hosting that you have picked provides this function by default. If not, you could include it from the Add Services/Upgrades section of your CP and enable it right away. You'll find all the info that you need in the SSH section of the CP - the host, the port number and the username which you need to use, along with in depth Help articles in which we've listed all the commands you can use in the account and examples of the syntax which you have use. The SSH password could be modified from the very same section anytime with several clicks. So long as SSH access is enabled, you will also be able to connect safely using an FTP client as well. With an SFTP connection, all of the files that you upload will go through an encrypted connection.
SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Hosting
SSH access is included as standard with some of our semi-dedicated server solutions, while with others you may include it via the hosting Control Panel if required - even only for the current month. Either way, you'll be able to activate and de-activate the feature with a single mouse click through the SSH section of the Control Panel. In the same location, you'll discover the server name, the port number and the username required to connect to our platform. You'll also find a box in which you can easily input the password you want to use, as it does not have to be the same as the one you use to log into the CP. For better protection, you can also change it as often as you require. A full list of the commands which can be executed inside a semi-dedicated account is provided in our Knowledge Base, along with the syntax and several examples. An extra feature after SSH access is allowed will be the ability to connect to your hosting space via SFTP using any FTP client that supports this sort of connections.
SSH Telnet in VPS
You will be able to use SSH to control your content irrespective of which Linux VPS packages you choose when you sign up, because all of our plans provide this feature by default. You won't have to add or activate anything by hand - as soon as your server is prepared and you get the Welcome e mail with the login details, you may connect and begin working on your sites or any software that you want to set up and run on the server. You will have root-level access to the VPS and since the account shall be separated from the other accounts inside the physical hosting server, you shall be able to do anything you would like without any restrictions. You could install any app you need and that will work on a Linux-based machine, reboot any software server (web, database, game, media, etc.) and handle your files and databases fast and easy.
