SSH (Secure Shell) is a way to securely connect to a server using a command-line interface. It’s commonly used by developers and advanced users to manage files, run commands, install software, and make configuration changes directly on a server.

Instead of using a visual interface like a control panel, SSH gives you direct access to the server’s operating system.

What is SSH typically used for?

SSH is often used for tasks like uploading or editing files, managing databases, running scripts, and troubleshooting issues at a deeper level. It’s a powerful tool, but it also requires technical knowledge to use safely.

Because SSH provides direct access to the server, actions performed through it can affect the entire hosting environment.

Is SSH included with our hosting?

No, SSH access is not included with our hosting plans.

Our hosting environment is designed to be managed through Plesk, which provides all the tools needed to manage your website, files, databases, and email through a secure, user-friendly interface.

What can I use instead of SSH?

Most common tasks that would typically require SSH can be completed through Plesk, including:

• File management using the File Manager
• Database access through phpMyAdmin
• Installing and managing WordPress
• Managing domains, email, and settings

If you’re trying to complete a specific task and aren’t sure how to do it without SSH, our support team can help guide you.
