SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol that is used to transfer protected data between a client and a server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any info. Many tech-savvy users favor SSH because of the higher level of security. The connection is made and the commands are sent through a command line. The offered options depend on the type of web hosting service - on a shared server, for instance, files may be transferred or deleted, databases could be imported and exported, and archives may be set up or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, the options are significantly more - the web server and the database server may be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software could be installed and a lot more. These things are not possible on a shared server, for the reason that full root access is required and all the other clients on that server shall be affected. Although SSH is employed primarily with UNIX-like OSs, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, etc.

SSH Telnet in Shared Hosting

If you have a shared hosting account with our company and you want to handle your content remotely using SSH, you can get SSH access to the account through your Hepsia Control Panel.

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 can even pick what password you want to use, given that it doesn't need to be the same as the one for the account. We have prepared a lot of Help articles where you could find each of the commands that you'll be able to use with a shared hosting package, plus examples of how they are used. Also, if SSH access is allowed for your account, you will be able to establish a Secure FTP (SFTP) connection via a standard client such as FileZilla, for example.

As the VPS is a software emulation of a dedicated server and is separated from the other accounts on the physical machine, there won't be any restrictions regarding the commands you can use. You shall have full root access, so that you may set up and run any app that can work on a Linux server, manage files, folders and databases or start/stop/reboot the entire machine or any software running on it.
