SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol used to connect to a web server and execute different tasks via a command line. The protocol is employed by many experienced users, due to the fact that the information transmitted over it is encrypted, so it can't be intercepted on the way by a 3rd party. SSH access could be employed for a number of things with regards to the type of web 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 web server allows it. If you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH could be used for just about anything - you may install software or restart specific services including the web server or the database server that run on the machine. SSH is employed primarily with UNIX-like Operating Systems, but there are clients which enable you to use the protocol if your laptop or computer is using a different Operating System too. The connection is made on TCP port 22 by default and the remote web server always listens for incoming connections on that port though lots of service providers change it for security reasons.

The SSH password could be changed from the exact same section anytime with several clicks.

If you have a semi-dedicated server account with us, you shall be able to obtain SSH access to it with just a mouse click from the corresponding section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, offered with all accounts. If your package does not support this feature by default, you'll be able to include it without difficulty through the Upgrades menu. Once you go to the SSH section, you will find the information you need to connect to the server via 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 required. These login credentials are also essential if you want to upload files through a secure connection and you would like to use SFTP, which is also part of the SSH access service which we provide you with.

SSH Telnet in VPS Servers

All our VPS server plans provide SSH access as standard, so you shall not have to add any upgrades or activate anything - the instant the server is set up and you receive its login information, you'll be able to connect through its primary IP address and the login credentials which you've picked throughout the signup process. Due to the fact that the VPS accounts include full root-level access, there are no restrictions in terms of the commands that you may run. Your server will be isolated from the other ones on the physical machine, so you shall be able to manage more or less everything through a command line, including server-side software installations and reboots. This way, you may work with your files, databases and any apps that you install in a fast and risk-free way.
