SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol which is used to exchange encoded information between a client and a website hosting server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any data. Many tech-savvy customers choose SSH because of the enhanced level of security. The connection is made and the commands are delivered using a command line. The offered options depend on the type of Internet hosting service - on a shared server, for example, files can be transferred or deleted, databases may be imported and exported, and archives may be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, the choices are significantly more - the web server and the database server may be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software could be set up and much more. These things aren't possible on a shared server, due to the fact that full root access is required and all the other customers on that server would be affected. While SSH is employed predominantly with UNIX-like OSs, there are SSH clients for other OSs too - Windows, Mac OS, and so on.

You can also set what password to use from the same location and you will be able to change it at any time. All commands which are allowed are listed within the Help articles that we've prepared for you, along with examples of the syntax which you should use.

The latter may be updated at any time, if necessary. These login credentials are also needed if you'd like to upload files through a secure connection and you wish to use SFTP, which is also part of the SSH access service we provide you with.

SSH Telnet in VPS

If you purchase a new virtual private server from our company, it'll feature full root access and you will be able to connect to the server and to control everything through an SSH console. The function comes as standard with all plans, so you won't need to allow or upgrade anything. Your hosting server shall be set up shortly after you get it and as soon as you receive the Welcome e mail with the login info, you may connect via the server’s main IP address and start working. Since the VPS is a software emulation of a dedicated server and is separated from the other accounts inside the physical machine, there'll be no restrictions regarding the commands you can use. You'll have full root access, so that you may set up and run any application that can work on a Linux machine, manage files, folders and databases or start/stop/reboot the entire machine or any software running on it.
