SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol used to connect to a server and execute various tasks using a command line. The protocol is used by many experienced users, because the information transmitted over it is encrypted, so it cannot be intercepted on the way by a 3rd party. SSH access could be used for a variety of things based on the type of Internet hosting account. With a shared hosting account, for instance, SSH is one of several ways to import/export a database or to upload a file if the hosting server allows for it. If you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH can be used for pretty much anything - you could install software or restart specific services like the web server or the database server which run on the machine. SSH is employed mostly with UNIX-like Systems, but there are clients which enable you to employ the protocol if your PC is running a different OS as well. The connection is created on TCP port 22 by default and the remote hosting server always listens for incoming connections on that port although a lot of service providers change it for security reasons.

SSH Telnet in VPS Web Hosting

The virtual private server packages which we offer come with SSH access as standard, not as a paid upgrade or a function which you should activate. The minute your new server is ready, you shall be able to connect and start working on your content through the login details that you've entered during the order procedure. A copy of the SSH credentials shall be sent to you via e mail as well. Since your VPS will be isolated from the others on the physical server, there aren't any limitations as to what you can or cannot do via SSH. You can download, install and manage any piece of software that'll run on a Linux hosting server, reboot the whole server or just a certain software component, and work with files, folders and databases with virtually no restrictions. All you'll need for that is a console or an SSH client on your end.
