Secure Shell, also known as SSH, is a cryptographic network protocol that is used to execute commands on a remote web server or to exchange information between a hosting server and a client. Due to the fact that the data exchanged by the two sides is encoded, a third party simply cannot intercept it, which makes SSH a favorite means of controlling a web hosting account. The commands which could be executed depend on the type of hosting service. On a shared server, in particular, the possibilities are limited because you'll not have root access to the machine, so you may only create/move/delete files, set up and unpack archives, import and export databases, etc. These are all actions which are performed inside the shared hosting account and do not need a higher level of access. Using a virtual or a dedicated server, you will be able to install server-side software or to restart the hosting server or just a particular service (web server, database server, etc.). SSH commands are submitted through a command line, and if you do not use a UNIX-like Operating System, there are a number of applications for other OSs, you can employ to connect to the remote hosting server as well.

: SSH Telnet in Cloud Website Hosting

In case you have a cloud website hosting account with us and you'd like to handle your content remotely through SSH, you may get SSH access to the account using your Hepsia Control Panel. If your package does not provide this feature by default, you may add it with a couple of clicks through the Upgrades menu. Within the SSH section of the CP, 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 like to use, as it does not need to be the same as the one for the account. We've prepared many Help articles where you could find all of the commands that you will be able to use with a shared hosting package, plus examples of how they're used. Moreover, if SSH access is permitted for your account, you'll be able to establish a Secure FTP (SFTP) connection by using a standard client such as FileZilla, for instance.
