SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol that is used to transfer encrypted data between a client and a website hosting server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any data. Many tech-savvy clients opt for SSH because of the better security level. The connection is established and the commands are delivered via a command line. The available options depend on the type of hosting service - on a shared server, in particular, files can be relocated or deleted, databases could be imported and exported, and archives may be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, the options are considerably more - the web server and the database server can be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software can 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 will be affected. While SSH is used primarily with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so on.

When you have a cloud hosting account with our company and you want to handle your content remotely via SSH, you can easily obtain SSH access to the account through your Hepsia Control Panel. If your plan doesn't include this feature as standard, you may add it with a couple of clicks via the Upgrades menu. Inside the SSH section of the Control Panel, you will see the host, the port number and the username you should use when you connect to the account. You may also pick what password you would like to use, given that it does not need to be the same as the one for your account. We've prepared a number of Help articles in which you may find all the commands that you'll be able to use with a shared hosting plan, as well as examples of how they're used. In addition, if SSH access is enabled for your account, you shall be able to establish a Secure FTP (SFTP) connection via a standard client such as FileZilla, for example.
