SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol employed to exchange encoded information between a client and a website hosting server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any info. Many tech-savvy users favor SSH mainly because of the higher level of security. The connection is established and the commands are sent using a command line. The available options depend on the type of hosting service - on a shared server, for instance, files may be moved or deleted, databases could be imported and exported, and archives may be set up or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your choices are considerably more - the web server and the database server can be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software may be set up and much more. These things aren't possible on a shared server, due to the fact that full root access is needed and all the other customers on that server will be affected. Even though SSH is employed mainly with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs too - Windows, Mac OS, and so forth.

If not, you may add it through the Add Services/Upgrades section of your CP and enable it at once. You will find all the details you need in the SSH section of the Control Panel - the host, the port number and the username which you need to use, as well as in depth Help articles in which we have listed all the commands which you can use inside the account and examples of the syntax you have to use. The SSH password can be modified from the exact same section at any time with a couple of clicks.
