Secure Shell, better known as SSH, is a cryptographic network protocol that is used to execute commands on a remote machine or to exchange information between a web server and a client. As the data exchanged by the 2 sides is encoded, 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 depend on the type of hosting service. On a shared web server, for instance, the alternatives are limited as you'll not have root access to the machine, so you may simply create/move/delete files, set up and unpack archives, export and import databases, etc. They're all actions that are performed in the shared hosting account and do not require a higher level of access. Through a virtual or a dedicated server, you will be able to set up server-side software or to restart the web server or only a particular service (web server, database server, etc.). SSH commands are submitted with a command line, and if you don't employ a UNIX-like Operating System, there are tons of applications for other OSs, that you can use to connect to the remote web server as well.

SSH Telnet in VPS Servers

When you acquire a new VPS server from us, it shall provide full root access and you'll be able to connect to the server and to manage everything via an SSH console. The function is included as standard with all package deals, so you will not have to enable or upgrade anything. Your web server will be set up shortly after you purchase it and the moment you receive the Welcome e-mail with the login information, you may connect using the server’s primary IP address and begin working. Since the VPS is a software emulation of a dedicated server and is separated from the other accounts inside the physical machine, there won't be any restrictions with regards to the commands that you can use. You'll have full root access, so that you may install and run any application that can work on a Linux web server, manage files, folders and databases or start/stop/reboot your entire machine or any software running on it.
