Secure Shell, commonly known as SSH, is a cryptographic network protocol employed to execute commands on a remote machine or to exchange data between a hosting server and a client. Due to the fact that the information exchanged by the two sides is encoded, a 3rd party can't intercept it, which makes SSH a favored means of handling a web hosting account. The commands which can be executed are determined by the type of hosting service. On a shared server, for instance, the alternatives are limited as you won't have root access to the server, so you can just create/move/delete files, create and unpack archives, import and export databases, and so on. They are all actions which are executed in the shared hosting account and do not need a higher level of access. By using a virtual or a dedicated server, you shall be able to install server-side software or to restart the machine or only a specific service (web server, database server, etc.). SSH commands are submitted through a command line, but if you do not use a UNIX-like OS, there are a variety of applications for other OSs, that you can employ to connect to the remote server as well.

You can even set what password to use from the same spot and you shall be able to modify it whenever you want. All the commands which are allowed are listed within the Help articles that we've prepared for you, in addition to examples of the syntax that you must use. An additional advantage of enabling SSH access to your account is that you'll be able to upload files via an SFTP connection.

SSH Telnet in VPS Web Hosting

The virtual private server solutions we offer come with SSH access as standard, not as an optional upgrade or a feature that you should enable. As soon as your new server is ready, you'll be able to connect and start working on your content via the login details which you have entered throughout the order process. A copy of the SSH credentials will be sent to you via email as well. Since your VPS will be isolated from the other ones on the physical server, there are no limitations in regards to what you can or can't do using SSH. You are able to download, set up and manage any piece of software that'll run on a Linux hosting server, reboot your entire server or only a particular software component, and work with files, folders and databases with virtually no restrictions. All you will need for that is a console or an SSH client on your end.
