SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol that is used to connect to a server and carry out various tasks through a command line. The protocol is used by many experienced users, because the data transmitted over it is encrypted, so it cannot be intercepted on the way by a third party. SSH access may be employed for a number of things with regards to the type of website hosting account. With a shared hosting account, for example, SSH is one of several ways to import/export a database or to upload a file in case the server allows for it. In case you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH could be used for practically anything - you could install software or restart particular services like the web server or the database server which run on the machine. SSH is employed largely with UNIX-like Operating Systems, but there are clients that enable you to employ the protocol if your computer system is running a different Operating System too. The connection is established on TCP port 22 by default and the remote web server always listens for incoming connections on that port though many service providers change it for security reasons.

In case you have picked a different plan, the SSH access function could be added via the Upgrades menu and it'll become available immediately. All the details you need to connect shall be conveniently listed inside the SSH section of the CP - the hostname, the username and the port number. You can also set what password to use from the same place and you'll be able to modify it whenever you want. All the commands that are permitted are listed inside the Help articles which we have prepared for you, along with examples of the syntax which you have to use. An additional advantage of allowing SSH access to your account is that you will be able to upload files using an SFTP connection.
