Secure Shell, also known as SSH, is a cryptographic network protocol that is used to execute commands on a remote machine or to exchange info between a web server and a client. Since the information exchanged by the 2 sides is protected, a third party won't be able to intercept it, which makes SSH a favorite means of controlling an Internet hosting account. The commands that could be executed depend on the type of hosting service. On a shared web server, for example, the choices are limited because you'll not have root access to the website hosting server, so you can simply create/move/delete files, create and unpack archives, import and export databases, and so on. They're all actions that are carried out inside the shared hosting account and do not need a higher level of access. Using a virtual or a dedicated server, you will be able to set up server-side software or to restart the web server or only a specific service (web server, database server, etc.). SSH commands are submitted through a command line, and if you don't employ a UNIX-like Operating System, there are a number of applications for other OSs, which you can employ to connect to the remote server as well.

SSH Telnet in Shared Hosting

If the shared hosting plan that you’ve chosen during the signup procedure includes SSH access as standard, you'll be able to activate this feature with a click within your Hepsia Control Panel. If you've picked a different package, the SSH access function could be added using the Upgrades menu and it'll become available straightaway. The information that you need to connect shall be conveniently listed in the SSH section of the Control Panel - the hostname, the username and the port number. You can also set what password to use from the same place and you'll be able to change it at any time. All the commands that are permitted are listed within the Help articles which we've prepared for you, together with examples of the syntax that you have to use. An additional advantage of permitting SSH access to your account is that you'll be able to upload files through an SFTP connection.

SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you have a semi-dedicated server account with us, you shall be able to get SSH access to it with only a click from the corresponding section of the Hepsia hosting CP, offered with all accounts. If your plan doesn't support this feature by default, you'll be able to add it with ease using the Upgrades menu. When you go to the SSH section, you will find the details 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 anytime, if needed. These login credentials are also needed if you want to upload files through a secure connection and you wish to use SFTP, which is also part of the SSH access service which we provide. A thorough list of the commands that you can execute will give you a better idea of what tasks you may perform within your account and each one is accompanied by a number of instances of the syntax.

SSH Telnet in VPS Web Hosting

If you acquire a new virtual private server from us, it'll provide full root access and you'll be able to connect to the server and to handle everything using an SSH console. The feature is provided as standard with all plans, so you will not need to activate or upgrade anything. Your server shall be set up immediately after you buy it and the minute you receive the Welcome e-mail with the login info, you may connect through the server’s main IP address and start working. Because the VPS is a software emulation of a dedicated server and is isolated from the other accounts within the physical machine, there will be no restrictions in terms of the commands which you can use. You will have full root access, so you can install and run any app that can work on a Linux machine, manage files, folders and databases or start/stop/reboot the entire machine or any software operating on it.
