SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol used to transfer protected data between a client and a server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any info. Many tech-savvy clients choose SSH because of the better level of security. The connection is created and the commands are delivered using a command line. The offered options depend on the type of hosting service - on a shared server, for instance, files can be moved or deleted, databases could be imported and exported, and archives could be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your choices are significantly more - the web server and the database server could be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software can be installed plus much more. These things are not possible on a shared server, because full root access is needed and all the other clients on that server would be affected. Even though SSH is used mainly with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so forth.

SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Hosting
SSH access is provided by default with some of our semi-dedicated server plans, while with others you are able to add it through the hosting CP if necessary - even only for the current month. Either way, you could activate and de-activate the feature with only one mouse click through the SSH section of the CP. In the same spot, you will find the server name, the port number and the username required to connect to our platform. You will also find a box in which you can type in the password that you would like to use, because it does not have to be the same as the one you use to log into the CP. For better protection, you may also change it as frequently as you require. A full list of the commands that can be executed inside a semi-dedicated account is supplied in our Knowledge Base, along with the syntax and several instances. An extra feature after SSH access is enabled shall be the ability to connect to your hosting space via SFTP through any FTP client that supports this type of connections.
SSH Telnet in VPS Hosting
All our virtual private server packages come with SSH access by default, so you will not have to add any upgrades or enable anything - as soon as the server is set up and you receive its login info, you'll be able to connect through its primary IP address and the login credentials that you've chosen through the signup procedure. As the VPS accounts include full root-level access, there are no restrictions in terms of the commands that you could run. Your server shall be isolated from the other ones on the physical machine, so you will be able to manage virtually everything via a command line, including server-side software installations and reboots. This way, you may work with your files, databases and any applications which you install in a fast and secure way.
