SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol that is used to transfer encoded information between a client and a hosting server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any info. Many tech-savvy customers choose SSH mainly because of the enhanced level of security. The connection is made and the commands are delivered using a command line. The offered options depend on the type of hosting service - on a shared server, for example, files can be moved or deleted, databases could be imported and exported, and archives can be set up or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, the choices are significantly more - the web server and the database server can be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software can be set up and much more. These things aren't possible on a shared server, because full root access is needed and all the other clients on that server would be affected. While SSH is used primarily with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so forth.

SSH access may be allowed with a mouse click from the Hepsia Control Panel if the web hosting that you've chosen includes this function as standard. If not, you may add it using the Add Services/Upgrades section of your Control Panel and enable it instantly. You'll find all the information which you need in the SSH section of the CP - the host, the port number and the username which you have to use, as well as in depth Help articles in which we have listed all of the commands that you can use in the account and examples of the syntax that you have to use. The SSH password can be modified from the very same section anytime with several clicks. Provided that SSH access is enabled, you will also be able to connect safely through an FTP client as well. With an SFTP connection, each of the files that you upload will go through an encrypted connection.
SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you will 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 function by default, you will be able to add it easily through the Upgrades menu. When you go to the SSH section, you will find the info that you need to connect to the server through a command line or a desktop application - the server/host, the port number, the username and the password. The latter can be updated anytime, if necessary. These login credentials are also essential if you would like to upload files through a secure connection and you want to use SFTP, which is also part of the SSH access service which we offer you. A thorough list of the commands which you can perform shall offer you a better idea of what tasks you can perform inside your account and each one is accompanied by a few instances of the syntax.
SSH Telnet in VPS Servers
All our VPS server offers include SSH access as standard, so you won't have to include any upgrades or enable anything - the second the server is set up and you receive its login info, you will be able to connect via its primary IP address and the login credentials which you've chosen through the signup process. Due to the fact that the VPS accounts come with full root-level access, there are no restrictions with regards to the commands which you could run. Your server will be isolated from the others on the physical machine, so you'll be able to manage pretty much everything using a command line, including server-side software installations and reboots. This way, you may work with your files, databases and any applications you install in a fast and risk-free way.
