SSH Telnet
Find out exactly what SSH is and just how you may control an entire server with it.
SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol employed to transfer protected info between a client and a website hosting server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any information. Many tech-savvy customers favor SSH due to the higher security level. The connection is made and the commands are sent using a command line. The accessible options depend on the type of hosting service - on a shared server, in particular, files can be transferred or deleted, databases may be imported and exported, and archives may be set up or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, the choices are considerably more - the web server and the database server may be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software may be set up plus much more. These things are not possible on a shared server, due to the fact that full root access is required and all the other customers on that server shall be affected. Although SSH is used predominantly with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs too - Windows, Mac OS, etc.

You will have full root access, so that you could install and run any application that can work on a Linux server, manage files, folders and databases or start/stop/reboot your entire machine or any software running on it.
