SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol that's used to exchange encrypted information between a client and a web server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any info. Many tech-savvy users favor SSH mainly because of the higher level of security. The connection is created and the commands are delivered via a command line. The offered options depend on the type of web hosting service - on a shared server, for example, files could be moved or deleted, databases could be imported and exported, and archives can be set up or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your choices are much more - the web server and the database server could be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software could be installed plus much more. These things are not possible on a shared server, since full root access is required and all the other clients on that server shall be affected. Though SSH is employed predominantly with UNIX-like OSs, there are SSH clients for other OSs too - Windows, Mac OS, etc.

SSH Telnet in Cloud Hosting

When you have a cloud hosting account with our company and you want to deal with your content remotely via SSH, you can obtain SSH access to the account through your Hepsia Control Panel. If your package deal doesn't offer this feature as standard, you may add it with a few mouse clicks through the Upgrades menu. Inside the SSH section of the Control Panel, you will see the host, the port number and the username you should use when you connect to the account. You may also choose what password you would want to use, as it doesn't need to be the same as the one for the account. We have prepared several Help articles in which you could find all of the commands that you will be able to use with a shared hosting package, along with examples of how they're used. Additionally, if SSH access is permitted for your account, you will be able to establish a Secure FTP (SFTP) connection through a standard client like FileZilla, for example.
