SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol that's used to exchange encoded information between a client and a web server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any information. Many tech-savvy clients favor SSH due to the higher level of security. The connection is made and the commands are sent via a command line. The available options depend on the type of web hosting service - on a shared server, in particular, files could be transferred or deleted, databases may be imported and exported, and archives can be set up or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your choices are much 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 aren't possible on a shared server, since full root access is needed and all the other customers on that server would be affected. Though SSH is used mainly with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so on.

With some of them, it's offered as standard, while with others it is an additional upgrade that you can add with a couple of clicks in your web hosting CP. You can get SSH access through the section related to it where you will also find the information that you need to connect - the host, the port number and the username. You could pick the password that you'll use and, if required, you shall be able to change it with a couple of clicks from the same location. All of the commands that could be used with our shared packages are listed in a help article alongside relevant instances. If the SSH access feature is enabled for your account, you will also be able to upload files through your preferred FTP client via an SFTP connection.

All our semi-dedicated server accounts provide the possibility to access and control them through SSH.

SSH Telnet in VPS Web Hosting
All our virtual private server solutions include SSH access as standard, so you won't have to add any upgrades or activate anything - the moment the server is set up and you receive its login info, you shall be able to connect through its main IP address and the login credentials which you have picked throughout the signup procedure. Because the VPS accounts feature full root-level access, there are no restrictions with regards to the commands that you may run. Your server will be isolated from the others on the physical machine, so you will be able to manage virtually everything using a command line, including server-side software installations and reboots.
