Do you offer ssh logins to my web hosting?
Yep.
But only upon special request. 99.999999% of users never use it thus there's no need to open our web hosts to the security concern of password hacking. But if you need it- we're happy to enable it and make your life easier.
Once enabled you can ssh into your account with the same username/password used to login to cPanel.
Hostname: [yourdomain.com]
(assumes your DNS servers point to our web hosting service).
Port: 7822
NOTE!! The default port is typically 22. You must make sure to specify port 7822.
Need an ssh client? We suggest the following:
Linux Users- ssh is usually installed via OpenSSH and can be accessed from the command line.
MAC Users - Same as Linux it can be accessed from the command line.
Windows Users - Download the free utility Putty. This is one of the most popular and free clients for Windows. Once installed lauch it via the icon, fill-in the above Host and Port, then login with your username/password.
ssh is assumed to be for the advanced and experienced user. If this is not the environment in which you're comfortable we suggest you stick to cPanel and Fantastico.
Should you require some special install, support, or customization we offering per diem consulting services. Please Contact Us to discuss your needs. 201-755-KONG.
