SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol employed to exchange encoded data between a client and a hosting server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any data. Many tech-savvy clients favor SSH because of the better security level. The connection is created and the commands are sent through a command line. The offered options depend on the type of Internet hosting service - on a shared server, for instance, files may be moved or deleted, databases could be imported and exported, and archives may be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your options are significantly more - the web server and the database server may be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software can be set up plus much more. These things are not possible on a shared server, for the reason that full root access is required and all the other customers on that server would be affected. Though SSH is employed primarily with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so forth.
SSH Telnet in Hosting
When you have a hosting account with us and you want to handle your content remotely via SSH, you can easily get SSH access to the account through your Hepsia Control Panel. If your package doesn't include this feature by default, you may add it with a couple of clicks via the Upgrades menu. Inside the SSH section of the CP, you shall see the host, the port number and the username you should use when you connect to the account. You may also select what password you would want to use, as it does not need to be the same as the one for your account. We've prepared numerous Help articles where you can find each of the commands you will be able to use with a shared hosting plan, plus examples of how they are 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.
