SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol that's used to exchange encoded information between a client and a server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any info. Many tech-savvy clients opt for SSH because of the enhanced level of security. The connection is created and the commands are delivered using a command line. The offered options depend on the type of web hosting service - on a shared server, in particular, files may be moved or deleted, databases could be imported and exported, and archives can be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, the options are considerably more - the web server and the database server may be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software could be installed and much more. These things are not possible on a shared server, due to the fact that full root access is needed and all the other clients on that server would be affected. Though SSH is used largely with UNIX-like OSs, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, etc.

SSH Telnet in VPS Web Hosting
All our virtual private server plans come with SSH access by default, so you shall not have to add any upgrades or enable anything - as soon as the server is set up and you receive its login info, you shall be able to connect through its primary IP address and the login credentials that you've picked during the signup procedure. As the VPS accounts come with full root-level access, there aren't any restrictions in terms of the commands which you could run. Your server will be isolated from the others on the physical machine, so you shall be able to manage more or less everything through a command line, including server-side software installations and reboots. This way, you'll be able to work with your files, databases and any apps that you install in a fast and safe way.
