SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol which is used to exchange encrypted data between a client and a server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any info. Many tech-savvy customers opt for SSH mainly because of the better security level. The connection is created and the commands are sent using a command line. The available options depend on the type of Internet hosting service - on a shared server, in particular, files can be relocated or deleted, databases may be imported and exported, and archives can be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, the options 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 aren't possible on a shared server, since full root access is required and all the other customers on that server will be affected. While SSH is used largely with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs too - Windows, Mac OS, and so on.

You may pick the password which you shall use and, if necessary, you shall be able to modify it with a few clicks from the same spot. All commands that can be used with our shared plans are listed in a help article alongside relevant examples.

SSH Telnet in VPS Web Hosting

You shall be able to use SSH to manage your content regardless which Linux VPS web hosting packages you select when you sign up, since all of our plans provide this feature as standard.

You will have root-level access to the VPS and since the account will be isolated from all of the other accounts in the physical hosting server, you will be able to do anything you want without any restrictions. You can set up any application you need and which will run on a Linux-based hosting server, reboot any software server (web, database, game, media, etc.) and handle your files and databases fast and easy.
