SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol that is used to connect to a server and conduct different tasks using a command line. The protocol is preferred by many expert users, since the data transmitted over it is encrypted, so it can't be intercepted on the way by a 3rd party. SSH access can be employed for a number of things based on the type of hosting account. With a shared hosting account, for example, SSH is one of several ways to import/export a database or to upload a file when the server allows for it. When you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH could be used for practically anything - you could install software or restart specific services such as the web server or the database server which run on the machine. SSH is used mainly with UNIX-like Operating Systems, but there are clients that permit you to employ the protocol if your computer system is using a different OS as well. The connection is established on TCP port 22 by default and the remote server always listens for incoming connections on that port even though a number of providers change it for security reasons.

SSH Telnet in VPS Hosting

The virtual private server plans we offer include SSH access as standard, not as an optional upgrade or a function that you need to enable. Once your new server is prepared, you will be able to connect and start working on your content via the login details which you have entered during the order procedure. A copy of the SSH credentials shall be sent to you via e-mail as well. As your VPS will be isolated from the others on the physical web server, there are no limitations as to what you can or can't do through SSH. You can download, install and manage any piece of software that'll run on a Linux server, reboot the whole server or simply a specific software component, and work with files, folders and databases with no restrictions. All you will need for that is a console or an SSH client on your end.
