Secure Shell, commonly known as SSH, is a cryptographic network protocol that is used to execute commands on a remote web server or to exchange information between a hosting server and a client. Because the data exchanged by the 2 sides is protected, a 3rd party can't intercept it, which makes SSH a favorite means of controlling an Internet hosting account. The commands which could be executed are determined by the type of hosting service. On a shared web server, in particular, the options are limited because you won't have root access to the web server, so you can only create/move/delete files, create and unpack archives, export and import databases, and so forth. These are all actions that are performed within the shared hosting account and don't require a higher level of access. By using a virtual or a dedicated server, you'll be able to set up server-side software or to restart the machine or only a particular service (web server, database server, etc.). SSH commands are submitted via a command line, and if you do not use a UNIX-like Operating System, there are a lot of apps for other OSs, which you can employ to connect to the remote server as well.

All the details which you need connect shall be conveniently listed in the SSH section of the CP - the hostname, the username and the port number. You can even set what password to use from the same place and you'll be able to change it at any time. All the commands that are permitted are listed within the Help articles that we have prepared for you, in addition to examples of the syntax which you must use.

If your plan does not support this feature by default, you'll be able to include it without difficulty through the Upgrades menu. When you go to the SSH section, you'll find the details you need to connect to the server through a command line or a desktop application - the server/host, the port number, the username and the password. The latter could be updated at any time, if needed. These login credentials are also required if you would like to upload files using a secure connection and you wish to use SFTP, which is also part of the SSH access service we offer. A thorough list of the commands you can execute will provide you with a better idea of what tasks you can perform in your account and each one is accompanied by a number of examples of the syntax.
