Secure Shell, better known as SSH, is a cryptographic network protocol that is used to execute commands on a remote server or to exchange information between a server and a client. Given that the data exchanged by the two sides is protected, a 3rd party simply cannot intercept it, which makes SSH an ideal means of managing a hosting account. The commands which could be executed depend on the type of hosting service. On a shared web server, for instance, the alternatives are limited as you'll not have root access to the hosting server, so you may only create/move/delete files, set up and unpack archives, export and import databases, etcetera. These are all actions that are carried out inside the shared hosting account and don't require a higher level of access. Through a virtual or a dedicated server, you will be able to set up server-side software or to restart the server or just a certain service (web server, database server, etc.). SSH commands are submitted via a command line, but if you don't employ a UNIX-like Operating System, there are a lot of applications for other OSs, which you can use to connect to the remote web server as well.

SSH Telnet in Cloud Hosting

If you have a cloud hosting account with us and you would like to deal with your content remotely through SSH, you could obtain SSH access to the account through your Hepsia Control Panel. If your package deal does not include this feature by default, you may add it with a few clicks through the Upgrades menu. In the SSH section of the Control Panel, you shall see the host, the port number and the username that you need to use when you connect to the account. You can also choose what password you would like to use, given that it doesn't have to be the same as the one for the account. We've prepared many Help articles in which you could find each of the commands that you will be able to use with a shared hosting package, along with examples of how they are used. Furthermore, if SSH access is permitted for your account, you'll be able to establish a Secure FTP (SFTP) connection using a standard client like FileZilla, for instance.
