SSH Telnet
Learn more about SSH and how this simple protocol can provide you with the cabability to quickly take care of whole servers.
Secure Shell, commonly known as SSH, is a cryptographic network protocol used to execute commands on a remote hosting server or to exchange information between a hosting server and a client. Due to the fact that the information exchanged by the two sides is encrypted, a third party simply cannot intercept it, which makes SSH an ideal means of controlling a web hosting account. The commands that could be executed are determined by the type of hosting service. On a shared server, for instance, the options are limited since you shall not have root access to the hosting server, so you can simply create/move/delete files, set up and unpack archives, export and import databases, and so forth. They are all actions that are carried out within the shared hosting account and do not require a higher level of access. Using a virtual or a dedicated server, you will have the option to install server-side software or to restart the machine or just a certain service (web server, database server, etc.). SSH commands are submitted with a command line, but if you don't use a UNIX-like OS, there are a variety of applications for other OSs, you can use to connect to the remote hosting server as well.

SSH Telnet in VPS Servers
All our
VPS server plans provide SSH access as standard, so you won't have to add any upgrades or activate anything - the moment the server is set up and you receive its login details, you'll be able to connect through its main IP address and the login credentials which you've selected during the signup procedure. As the VPS accounts include full root-level access, there aren't any restrictions regarding the commands that you could run. Your server will be isolated from the others on the physical machine, so you'll be able to manage pretty much everything using a command line, including server-side software installations and reboots. That way, you can work with your files, databases and any apps you install in a fast and risk-free way.
