SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol used to transfer protected information between a client and a website hosting server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any data. Many tech-savvy clients prefer SSH because of the enhanced level of security. The connection is established and the commands are sent via a command line. The available options depend on the type of web hosting service - on a shared server, in particular, files could be transferred or deleted, databases could be imported and exported, and archives can be set up or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your options are significantly more - the web server and the database server can be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software can be set up plus much more. These things aren't possible on a shared server, since full root access is needed and all the other clients 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, and so forth.

All the information you need to connect shall be conveniently listed inside the SSH section of the Control Panel - the hostname, the username and the port number. You could also set what password to use from the same location and you will be able to change it at any time. All commands that are permitted are listed in the Help articles which we've prepared for you, along with examples of the syntax that you have to use. An additional advantage of allowing SSH access to your account is that you'll be able to upload files through an SFTP connection.

SSH Telnet in VPS Hosting

If you purchase a new virtual private server from us, it shall come with full root access and you'll be able to connect to the server and to manage everything through an SSH console. The feature is included by default with all package deals, so you will not need to activate or upgrade anything. Your web server shall be set up soon after you order it and the moment you receive the Welcome e mail with the login details, you may connect through the server’s primary IP address and begin working. Since the VPS is a software emulation of a dedicated server and is separated from the other accounts inside the physical machine, there will be no restrictions regarding the commands which you can use. You shall have full root access, so that you could set up and run any app that can work on a Linux hosting server, manage files, folders and databases or start/stop/reboot the entire machine or any software running on it.
