SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol employed to exchange encrypted info between a client and a web server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any information. Many tech-savvy customers choose SSH mainly because of the enhanced level of security. The connection is created and the commands are delivered using a command line. The accessible options depend on the type of Internet hosting service - on a shared server, in particular, files may be transferred or deleted, databases can be imported and exported, and archives could be set up or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your choices are much more - the web server and the database server may be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software can be installed and a lot more. These things are not possible on a shared server, due to the fact that full root access is required and all the other customers on that server would be affected. Though SSH is employed mainly with UNIX-like OSs, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, etc.

: SSH Telnet in Cloud Website Hosting

In case you have a cloud website hosting account with us and you want to deal with your content remotely through SSH, you may receive SSH access to the account through your Hepsia Control Panel. If your plan does not offer this feature as standard, you can easily add it with several mouse clicks via the Upgrades menu. Inside the SSH section of the CP, you will see the host, the port number and the username you should use when you connect to the account. You can even select what password you would want to use, given that it does not have to be the same as the one for your account. We have prepared many Help articles in which you could find each of the commands that you'll be able to use with a shared hosting plan, plus examples of how they are used. In addition, if SSH access is permitted for your account, you will be able to establish a Secure FTP (SFTP) connection via a standard client such as FileZilla, for example.
