Secure Shell, commonly known as SSH, is a cryptographic network protocol that is used to execute commands on a remote machine or to exchange data between a server and a client. Due to the fact that the information exchanged by the 2 sides is encoded, a third party simply cannot intercept it, which makes SSH a favorite means of controlling an Internet hosting account. The commands that can be executed depend on the type of hosting service. On a shared hosting server, in particular, the choices are limited since you will not have root access to the server, so you can only create/move/delete files, set up and unpack archives, import and export databases, etcetera. They're all actions that are carried out in the shared hosting account and do not need a higher level of access. By using a virtual or a dedicated server, you shall have the ability to install server-side software or to restart the server or only a particular service (web server, database server, etc.). SSH commands are submitted via a command line, but if you don't employ a UNIX-like Operating System, there are tons of applications for other OSs, that you can employ to connect to the remote web server as well.
SSH Telnet in Shared Website Hosting
When you have a shared website hosting account with our company and you want to handle your content remotely via SSH, you can receive SSH access to the account via your Hepsia Control Panel. If your package doesn't offer this feature as standard, you may add it with a couple of mouse clicks via the Upgrades menu. Inside the SSH section of the CP, you'll see the host, the port number and the username which you should use when you connect to the account. You may also pick what password you want to use, as it does not have to be the same as the one for your account. We have prepared several Help articles in which you may find all of the commands that you'll be able to use with a shared hosting package, as well as examples of how they are used. Additionally, if SSH access is permitted for your account, you shall be able to establish a Secure FTP (SFTP) connection by using a standard client like FileZilla, for instance.
