SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol which is used to exchange encrypted info between a client and a hosting server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any information. Many tech-savvy customers choose SSH due to the improved level of security. The connection is established and the commands are delivered through a command line. The offered options depend on the type of web hosting service - on a shared server, in particular, files can be relocated or deleted, databases could be imported and exported, and archives can be set up or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your choices are significantly more - the web server and the database server may be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software can be set up plus much more. These things aren't 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. While SSH is used predominantly with UNIX-like OSs, there are SSH clients for other OSs too - Windows, Mac OS, and so forth.
SSH Telnet in Shared Web Hosting
In case you have a shared web hosting account with us and you would like to deal with your content remotely through SSH, you could receive SSH access to the account through your Hepsia Control Panel.

In the SSH section of the Control Panel, you shall see the host, the port number and the username you should use when you connect to the account. You could also pick what password you would want to use, as it does not have to be the same as the one for your account. We've prepared a lot of Help articles where you could 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. Furthermore, if SSH access is permitted for your account, you'll be able to establish a Secure FTP (SFTP) connection using a standard client like FileZilla, for example.
