SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol employed to transfer protected information between a client and a web server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any data. Many tech-savvy users choose SSH because of the improved level of security. The connection is made and the commands are delivered through a command line. The offered options depend on the type of Internet hosting service - on a shared server, for instance, files can be transferred or deleted, databases could be imported and exported, and archives may be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your choices are considerably more - the web server and the database server can be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software could be set up plus much more. These things aren't possible on a shared server, since full root access is required and all the other customers on that server would be affected. While SSH is used predominantly with UNIX-like OSs, there are SSH clients for other OSs too - Windows, Mac OS, and so forth.

SSH Telnet in Shared Hosting

In case you have a shared hosting account with our company and you would like to handle your content remotely through SSH, you may receive SSH access to the account via your Hepsia Control Panel. If your plan doesn't offer this feature as standard, you can easily add it with a couple of mouse clicks through the Upgrades menu. Within the SSH section of the CP, you will see the host, the port number and the username that you should use when you connect to the account. You may also pick what password you want to use, as it doesn't need to be the same as the one for your account. We have prepared a number of Help articles in which you can find all of the commands you will be able to use with a shared hosting package, plus examples of how they're used. Also, if SSH access is allowed for your account, you'll be able to establish a Secure FTP (SFTP) connection via a standard client such as FileZilla, for example.

We have a variety of help articles and educational videos concerning the use of SSH commands to handle your account and an entire list of the commands that you can execute together with numerous examples to provide you with a better perception of what you could do.
