SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol employed to transfer protected data between a client and a website hosting server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any data. Many tech-savvy users favor SSH due to the better level of security. The connection is created and the commands are delivered using a command line. The available options depend on the type of Internet hosting service - on a shared server, for instance, files can be relocated 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 significantly more - the web server and the database server could be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software may be set up and much more. These things aren't possible on a shared server, due to the fact that full root access is required and all the other customers on that server will be affected. Even though SSH is employed predominantly with UNIX-like OSs, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, etc.

SSH Telnet in Shared Hosting

Within the SSH section of the CP, you will see the host, the port number and the username which you should use when you connect to the account. You can even choose what password you would like to use, given that it does not have to be the same as the one for the account. We've prepared a lot of Help articles in which you could find all of the commands you will be able to use with a shared hosting package, along with examples of how they are used. Also, if SSH access is permitted for your account, you shall be able to establish a Secure FTP (SFTP) connection through a standard client such as FileZilla, for instance.

SSH Telnet in VPS Web Hosting

When you obtain a new virtual private server from our company, it'll offer full root access and you'll be able to connect to the server and to handle everything via an SSH console. The feature comes by default with all plans, so you shall not have to activate or upgrade anything. Your web server shall be set up immediately after you order it and the instant you get the Welcome email with the login info, you can connect via the server’s primary IP address and begin working. Since the VPS is a software emulation of a dedicated server and is isolated from the other accounts inside the physical machine, there won't be any restrictions in terms of the commands you can use. You'll have full root access, so you can install and run any application that can work on a Linux web server, manage files, folders and databases or start/stop/reboot the entire machine or any software operating on it.
