SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol employed to exchange protected info between a client and a web server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any information. Many tech-savvy customers prefer SSH mainly because of the better level of security. The connection is made and the commands are delivered via a command line. The offered options depend on the type of hosting service - on a shared server, in particular, files could be relocated or deleted, databases can be imported and exported, and archives could be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your choices are considerably more - the web server and the database server can be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software can be set up and more. These things aren't possible on a shared server, for the reason that full root access is needed and all the other clients on that server would be affected. Even though SSH is employed largely with UNIX-like OSs, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so on.

All the information that you need to connect shall be conveniently listed within the SSH section of the Control Panel - the hostname, the username and the port number. You could also set what password to use from the same spot and you'll be able to modify it anytime. All of the commands that are permitted are listed in the Help articles that we have prepared for you, along with examples of the syntax which you have to use. An additional advantage of enabling SSH access to your account is that you will be able to upload files using an SFTP connection.

If the package deal that you've chosen incorporates this feature by default, you simply need to allow the SSH access function via the corresponding section of the Hepsia Control Panel. If the feature is listed as an optional upgrade, you are able to quickly add it through the Add Services/Upgrades link in the Hepsia CP and it shall be available within a minute.

SSH Telnet in VPS Servers

If you purchase a new VPS server from us, it'll provide full root access and you will be able to connect to the server and to manage everything via an SSH console. The feature is included as standard with all packages, so you will not need to allow or upgrade anything. Your website hosting server will be set up right after you get it and the minute you get the Welcome e mail with the login info, you may connect via the server’s main IP address and begin working. Given that the VPS is a software emulation of a dedicated server and is separated from the other accounts inside the physical machine, there'll be no restrictions with regards to the commands you can use. You will have full root access, so 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 whole machine or any software operating on it.
