SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol used to exchange encoded info between a client and a web server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any info. Many tech-savvy users choose SSH due to the improved security level. The connection is made and the commands are sent through a command line. The accessible options depend on the type of Internet hosting service - on a shared server, for instance, files could be moved or deleted, databases could be imported and exported, and archives can be set up or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your choices are significantly more - the web server and the database server could be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software can be set up and a lot more. These things aren't possible on a shared server, for the reason that full root access is needed and all the other customers on that server shall be affected. Although SSH is used primarily with UNIX-like OSs, there are SSH clients for other OSs too - Windows, Mac OS, and so on.

The SSH password may be changed from the very same section at any time with a few mouse clicks. So long as SSH access is enabled, you'll also be able to connect safely through an FTP client too.

The function comes as standard with all plans, so you won't need to activate or upgrade anything. Your web server shall be set up shortly after you buy it and the moment you receive the Welcome e mail with the login information, you could connect using the server’s main IP address and begin working. As the VPS is a software emulation of a dedicated server and is separated from the other accounts within the physical machine, there won't be any restrictions in terms of the commands that you can use. You'll have full root access, so that you may set up and run any app which can work on a Linux hosting server, manage files, folders and databases or start/stop/reboot the whole machine or any software running on it.
