SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol that's used to transfer encrypted info between a client and a web server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any info. Many tech-savvy users favor SSH due to the improved security level. The connection is created and the commands are delivered through a command line. The available options depend on the type of web hosting service - on a shared server, in particular, files could be relocated or deleted, databases can be imported and exported, and archives may be set up or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your choices are considerably more - the web server and the database server could be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software can be installed and a lot more. These things aren't possible on a shared server, since full root access is needed and all the other clients on that server will be affected. Though SSH is used mainly with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs too - Windows, Mac OS, and so forth.

If you've picked a different plan, the SSH access feature could be added via the Upgrades menu and it will become available straightaway. All the information which you need connect shall be conveniently listed within the SSH section of the Control Panel - the hostname, the username and the port number. You could also set what password to use from the same spot and you will be able to modify it whenever you want. All of the commands which are permitted are listed within the Help articles which we have prepared for you, along with examples of the syntax which you have to use. An additional advantage of enabling SSH access to your account is that you shall be able to upload files through an SFTP connection.
SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Hosting

With some plans, the function is offered by default, while with others, it could be added as an extra upgrade for as long as you need it.

You can select the password that you will use and if you want, you can change it on a regular basis with a few clicks for even better security. You'll be able to see all the commands that you may use upfront, as we've listed all of them alongside examples of how they are used in order to execute a specific task.

SSH Telnet in VPS Hosting
The virtual private server offers we offer feature SSH access as standard, not as an optional upgrade or a function which you must enable. As soon as your new server is ready, you will be able to connect and start working on your content using the login details which you have entered during the order procedure. A copy of the SSH credentials shall be sent to you via e-mail as well. Because your VPS shall be isolated from the others on the physical server, there aren't any limitations in regards to what you can or can't do via SSH. You can download, install and manage any piece of software that'll run on a Linux web server, reboot the whole server or simply a particular software component, and work with files, folders and databases without restrictions. All you'll need for that is a console or an SSH client on your end.
