A secure protocol that uses encrypted authentication for remote access over a network is called SSH, or Secure Shell. It enables a client to securely log into their account, communicate with other computers on the network, and execute commands. A server that is protected with SSH can connect to an SSH-enabled remote client over an unsecured connection. All primary domains of shared web hosting accounts come with free hostgator ssh.
A shell environment that limits the user to their own top level directory, or an emulation of the root directory, is called a jailed shell. Jailed SSH is offered on all HostGator shared web hosting accounts and requires a connection via port 2222 to the SSH enabled host server, and login details to access a control panel. Jailed shell environments are useful for setting access permissions for all users on the system, such as allowing certain users to execute some commands while restricting others.
Jailed SSH is also available for free on the primary domains of reseller web hosting accounts. To activate SSH on multiple accounts, a once only small fee is charged per sub-account, each with its own control panel. To connect to the SSH server, port 2222 is used along with a login username and password for the control panel.
A VPS, or virtual private server, is a virtual machine provided as a service by HostGator. VPS hosting, along with dedicated server hosting, where the customer has an entire server not shared with other customers, provides automatic SSH access to their root directory with full permission to make any changes they want on their own server. This kind of hosting requires port 22 to connect securely to the server, the username 'root' and a web host manager password.
The most popular systems that use the SSH protocol are Unix based, but Windows systems can use the protocol as well. SSH does not encrypt passwords and other confidential information in plain text so that it can be easily stolen, as do other shell protocols that are unsecured. The encryption used with HostGator accounts ensures data security and integrity over unsecured networks.
SSH has many uses in addition to logging into accounts and executing commands remotely. Tunneling is a method where protocol information can be carried from one incompatible network to another, or through a secure route in a cloud network, and is supported by SSH. This secure network protocol can also redirect data packets with port forwarding, and transfer files using secure copy protocol (SCP) and SSH file transfer protocol (SFTP).
HostGator accounts enabled with SSH authenticate the remote server and the client with public-key cryptography, an algorithm which requires two separate keys, one secret or private, and the other public. Although different, the two keys are linked. SSH can use automatically generated public-private key pairs to encrypt a network connection, which then requires the client to log in using password authentication. Alternatively, a manually generated public-private key pair can authenticate the user without the need for a password.
Cloud-based networks are generally unsuitable environments for the safe transmission of data. SSH offers a secure way of connecting through any unsecured network, and is enabled free on all HostGator accounts or primary domains, including shared, reseller, dedicated server and VPS accounts.
