Secure Shell, also known as SSH, is a cryptographic network protocol employed to execute commands on a remote web server or to exchange info between a server and a client. Since the data exchanged by the 2 sides is encoded, a 3rd party won't be able to intercept it, which makes SSH a favored means of controlling an Internet hosting account. The commands which can be executed are determined by the type of hosting service. On a shared server, in particular, the choices are limited since you will not have root access to the machine, so you could just create/move/delete files, set up and unpack archives, export and import databases, and so forth. They're all actions which are performed in the shared hosting account and do not require a higher level of access. With a virtual or a dedicated server, you'll have the ability to install server-side software or to restart the machine or just a particular service (web server, database server, etc.). SSH commands are submitted with a command line, and if you do not use a UNIX-like Operating System, there are plenty of apps for other OSs, that you can use to connect to the remote hosting server as well.

SSH Telnet in VPS Hosting
The virtual private server packages which we offer come with SSH access as standard, not as an optional upgrade or a feature that you should activate. The minute your new server is prepared, you will be able to connect and begin working on your content through the login details that you have entered throughout the order process. A copy of the SSH credentials will be sent to you via e-mail too. Since your VPS shall be isolated from the others on the physical hosting server, there aren't any limitations as to what you can or can't do through SSH. You'll be able to download, set up and manage any piece of software that will run on a Linux web server, reboot your entire server or simply a certain software component, and work with files, folders and databases without any restrictions. All you'll require for this is a console or an SSH client on your end.
