SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol which is used to transfer encoded data between a client and a server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any information. Many tech-savvy users choose SSH due to the improved security level. The connection is created and the commands are sent through a command line. The accessible options depend on the type of web hosting service - on a shared server, for instance, files may be moved or deleted, databases may be imported and exported, and archives can be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, the options are much more - the web server and the database server may be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software could be set up and more. These things are not possible on a shared server, for the reason that full root access is needed and all the other clients on that server shall be affected. Though SSH is used predominantly with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so on.
SSH Telnet in Cloud Hosting
In case you have a cloud hosting account with us and you want to deal with your content remotely through SSH, you can get SSH access to the account through your Hepsia Control Panel. If your package doesn't provide this feature by default, you may add it with several mouse clicks from the Upgrades menu. Within the SSH section of the Control Panel, you'll see the host, the port number and the username you should use when you connect to the account. You can also choose what password you want to use, considering that it doesn't have to be the same as the one for the account. We've prepared numerous Help articles in which you may find each of the commands that you will be able to use with a shared hosting package, as well as examples of how they are used. In addition, if SSH access is allowed for your account, you'll be able to establish a Secure FTP (SFTP) connection using a standard client such as FileZilla, for example.
