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. Due to the fact that the data exchanged by the 2 sides is encrypted, a third party simply cannot intercept it, which makes SSH a favored means of managing an Internet hosting account. The commands which may be executed are determined by the type of hosting service. On a shared web server, for example, the choices are limited as you won't have root access to the hosting server, so you may just create/move/delete files, create and unpack archives, import and export databases, etcetera. These are all actions which are performed inside the shared hosting account and don't require a higher level of access. By using a virtual or a dedicated server, you'll have the option to set up server-side software or to restart the web server or just a certain service (web server, database server, etc.). SSH commands are submitted with a command line, and if you do not use a UNIX-like Operating System, there are a lot of apps for other OSs, which you can employ to connect to the remote server as well.

SSH Telnet in Cloud Hosting

SSH access may be enabled with a click from the Hepsia Control Panel if the cloud hosting which you have chosen comes with this function by default. If not, you can include it using the Add Services/Upgrades section of your Control Panel and enable it straightaway. You will find all the info which you need in the SSH section of the CP - the host, the port number and the username that you need to use, along with in depth Help articles in which we have listed all of the commands you can use in the account and examples of the syntax that you have to use. The SSH password may be modified from the exact same section at any time with several clicks. As long as SSH access is enabled, you will also be able to connect safely and securely using an FTP client too. With an SFTP connection, each of the files that you upload shall go through an encrypted connection.

SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Servers

You'll be able to connect to your semi-dedicated server account through SSH irrespective of which package you select when you sign up. With some plans, the feature is included by default, while with others, it can be added as an extra upgrade for as long as you need it. You will find the necessary login info inside the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all accounts - the host/server name, the port number and the login name. You may choose the password you'll use and if you want to, you could change it on a regular basis with a couple of clicks for even higher security. You shall be able to see all the commands that you may use in advance, because we've listed all of them alongside examples of how they are used in order to execute a particular task.

SSH Telnet in VPS Servers

When you purchase a new VPS server from us, it'll offer full root access and you'll be able to connect to the server and to control everything using an SSH console. The function is included as standard with all plans, so you shall not have to enable or upgrade anything. Your hosting server shall be set up soon after you buy it and the moment you receive the Welcome e mail with the login information, you may connect through the server’s primary IP address and start working. Since the VPS is a software emulation of a dedicated server and is isolated from the other accounts on the physical machine, there won't be any restrictions in terms of the commands you can use. You'll have full root access, so that you may set up and run any application that can work on a Linux machine, manage files, folders and databases or start/stop/reboot the entire machine or any software running on it.
