SSH Access

Secure SHell (SSH) provides a secure method of accessing your hosting account via a command line interface.

To connect to your hosting account via SSH type:

Hostname: your.domain.name

The username and password combination is that which was allocated at the time of account setup and is the same combination used for accessing ftp and the control panel.

SSH access is available on all hosting account but it is not always enabled by default. If you are unable to log in via SSH and your username/password combination is correct you will need to log into the control panel and enable SSH access.
