SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol which is used to connect to a server and carry out various tasks using a command line. The protocol is employed by many knowledgeable users, due to the fact that the info transmitted over it is encrypted, so it cannot be intercepted on the way by a third party. SSH access may be employed for a variety of things depending on the type of website hosting account. With a shared hosting account, for instance, SSH is one of several ways to import/export a database or to upload a file if the server permits it. In case you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH can be used for just about everything - you could install software or restart certain services including the web server or the database server that run on the machine. SSH is employed typically with UNIX-like Systems, but there are clients which enable you to employ the protocol if your computer is running a different OS as well. The connection is made on TCP port 22 by default and the remote web server always listens for incoming connections on that port although many service providers change it for security reasons.
SSH Telnet in Web Hosting
If you have a web hosting account with our company and you would like to deal with your content remotely through SSH, you can receive SSH access to the account via your Hepsia Control Panel. If your package deal doesn't provide this feature by default, you may add it with a couple of clicks from the Upgrades menu. In the SSH section of the Control Panel, you'll see the host, the port number and the username which you should use when you connect to the account. You can even select what password you would want to use, since it does not have to be the same as the one for the account. We have prepared a number of Help articles in which you could find each of the commands you will be able to use with a shared hosting plan, plus examples of how they are used. Also, if SSH access is enabled for your account, you shall be able to establish a Secure FTP (SFTP) connection by using a standard client such as FileZilla, for example.

SSH Telnet in VPS
All our virtual private server plans provide SSH access as standard, so you shall not have to add any upgrades or activate anything - the moment the server is set up and you receive its login info, you shall be able to connect through its primary IP address and the login credentials that you have selected throughout the signup process. As the VPS accounts feature full root-level access, there aren't any restrictions in terms of the commands that you could run. Your server will be isolated from the others on the physical machine, so you shall be able to manage more or less everything using a command line, including server-side software installations and reboots. This way, you'll be able to work with your files, databases and any apps which you install in a fast and risk-free way.
