Secure Shell, better known as SSH, is a cryptographic network protocol used to execute commands on a remote web server or to exchange data between a server and a client. As the info exchanged by the two sides is protected, a 3rd party simply cannot intercept it, which makes SSH a preferred means of managing a web hosting account. The commands which can be executed depend on the type of hosting service. On a shared hosting server, in particular, the possibilities are limited as you will not have root access to the website hosting server, so you can just create/move/delete files, create and unpack archives, export and import databases, etc. These are all actions that are executed in the shared hosting account and don't require a higher level of access. Using a virtual or a dedicated server, you'll have the ability to set up server-side software or to restart the web server or just a certain service (web server, database server, etc.). SSH commands are submitted through a command line, but if you don't employ a UNIX-like OS, there are a number of applications for other OSs, you can use to connect to the remote server as well.
SSH Telnet in Shared Web Hosting
When you have a shared web hosting account with us and you want to manage your content remotely through SSH, you can receive SSH access to the account via your Hepsia Control Panel. If your package deal doesn't come with this feature as standard, you may add it with a couple of clicks via the Upgrades menu. In the SSH section of the CP, you'll 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 would like to use, as it does not have to be the same as the one for the account. We've prepared numerous Help articles in which you can easily find all of the commands that you will be able to use with a shared hosting package, along with examples of how they are used. Moreover, if SSH access is permitted for your account, you will be able to establish a Secure FTP (SFTP) connection via a standard client like FileZilla, for example.
