SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol which is used to connect to a server and conduct different tasks via a command line. The protocol is popular with many experienced users, for the reason that the information transmitted over it is encrypted, so it may not be intercepted on the way by a 3rd party. SSH access could be employed for lots of things with regards to the type of Internet 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 in case the server allows it. In case you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH may be used for pretty much everything - you could install software or restart particular services such as the web server or the database server that run on the machine. SSH is used mostly with UNIX-like Systems, but there are clients which allow you to use the protocol if your laptop or computer is running a different OS as well. The connection is established on TCP port 22 by default and the remote web server always listens for incoming connections on that port though a number of providers change it for security reasons.

SSH Telnet in Cloud Website Hosting

In case you have a cloud website hosting account with our company and you'd like to manage your content remotely via SSH, you may obtain SSH access to the account via your Hepsia Control Panel. If your package does not provide this feature by default, you could add it with several clicks through the Upgrades menu. In the SSH section of the Control Panel, you'll see the host, the port number and the username that you need to use when you connect to the account. You can even choose what password you want to use, considering that it doesn't need to be the same as the one for the account. We've prepared a number of Help articles where you can easily find each of the commands that you'll be able to use with a shared hosting plan, as well as examples of how they're used. Furthermore, if SSH access is permitted for your account, you will be able to establish a Secure FTP (SFTP) connection using a standard client like FileZilla, for example.

SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Servers

SSH access is offered as standard with some of our semi-dedicated server solutions, while with others you could add it through the hosting Control Panel if required - even just for the current month. Either way, you can activate and de-activate the feature with just one click through the SSH section of the Control Panel. In the same location, you'll find the server name, the port number and the username needed to connect to our platform. You'll also find a box in which you may enter the password that you would like to use, since it doesn't need to be the same as the one you use to log into the Control Panel. For better security, you can also change it as frequently as you require. A full list of the commands which can be performed in a semi-dedicated account is provided in our Knowledge Base, along with the syntax and a couple of examples. An extra function after SSH access is activated shall be the ability to connect to your hosting space via SFTP using any FTP client which supports this kind of connections.

Your server shall be isolated from the others on the physical machine, so you shall be able to manage virtually everything using a command line, including server-side software installations and reboots.
