Secure Shell, better known as SSH, is a cryptographic network protocol that is used to execute commands on a remote hosting server or to exchange info between a website hosting server and a client. As the information exchanged by the two sides is protected, a third party cannot intercept it, which makes SSH a favored means of handling an Internet hosting account. The commands that may be executed are determined by the type of hosting service. On a shared server, in particular, the possibilities are limited since you simply won't have root access to the website hosting server, so you could just create/move/delete files, set up and unpack archives, export and import databases, etc. They're all actions that are carried out in the shared hosting account and don't require a higher level of access. With a virtual or a dedicated server, you'll have the ability to set up server-side software or to restart the hosting server or just a particular service (web server, database server, etc.). SSH commands are submitted with a command line, but if you do not use a UNIX-like OS, there are a lot of applications for other OSs, that you can use to connect to the remote web server as well.

If not, you may include it through the Add Services/Upgrades section of your Control Panel and enable it straightaway. You'll discover all the information which you need within the SSH section of the Control Panel - the host, the port number and the username that you have to use, along with detailed Help articles in which we have listed all the commands that you can use inside the account and examples of the syntax that you have to use. The SSH password could be changed from the exact same section at any time with a few clicks. Assuming that SSH access is enabled, you shall also be able to connect safely and securely through an FTP client as well.

Your hosting server will be set up immediately after you purchase it and as soon as you get the Welcome e-mail with the login information, you can connect via the server’s main IP address and start working. Given that the VPS is a software emulation of a dedicated server and is separated from the other accounts inside the physical machine, there will be no restrictions with regards to the commands that you can use. You will have full root access, so that you could install and run any application which can work on a Linux machine, manage files, folders and databases or start/stop/reboot the entire machine or any software operating on it.
