Secure Shell<\/b> (SSH<\/span><\/i>) is a protocol that allows users to access a server through a network connection safely. Strong encryption and integrity help safeguard data <\/span>(such as usernames and passwords<\/span><\/i>) <\/span>transmitted during the connection<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Connecting With SSH on Shared Hosting<\/span><\/h2>\n

Customers on shared hosting plans get SSH access by default. They can use their hosting account’s login credentials to set up a secure shell either through a dedicated client or via their operating system’s built-in command-line interpreter.

Connecting With SSH on VPS Plans<\/span><\/h2>\n

With a managed VPS, you decide who’s going to have SSH access to the server. Here’s what you need to do:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Connect<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Step 1. <\/b>Log in to your SPanel Admin Interface and select \u201cManage SSH Access\u201d from the navigation bar.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Step 2. <\/b>Use the toggle switches next to individual accounts to enable and disable SSH access.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Step 3.<\/b> You are now ready to log in to your server using SSH. Dedicated clients like PuTTY give you more options, but you can also use built-in interpreters like the Terminal on Unix-based systems or Windows’ PowerShell<\/span>.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    NOTE: <\/strong>Make note of the port you’ll use to establish an SSH connection. The default SSH port is port 22<\/strong>, but many hosting providers change it for security reasons. For example, the SSH port for ScalaHosting’s managed VPS plans is port 6543<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
