What is Secure Shell (SSH) and Server Access
SSH, which stands for Secure Shell, is a highly secure protocol used for remotely logging into a server. It allows users to issue commands to the server and transfer files securely, making server management possible without requiring physical access to the server machine.
Availability and Hosting Environment
Access to SSH is considered a powerful tool for server administration and is therefore strictly managed within web hosting environments. As a standard practice, SSH access is generally not provided on shared hosting platforms and is frequently unavailable on most reseller hosting packages.
SSH access is most commonly and reliably granted to customers utilizing dedicated servers, as this level of service provides the necessary control and resources required for secure, command-line management.
