All our Linux-based virtual servers (VPS) allow you to connect directly to the shell via SSH.
Secure Shell or SSH refers to both a network protocol and corresponding programs that allow you to establish a secure, encrypted network connection with a remote device.
An SSH program is available for almost all well-known operating systems; on Linux and Mac it is already included, for Windows we recommend PuTTy.
After you have downloaded and installed PuTTy, you can establish an SSH connection to your VPS by entering just a few details.
Hostname or IP address: The IP address or hostname of your server. You can find this information directly in your server's management view.
Port: 22
Username: root
Password: You can set the password for the root access directly in your server's management view.
Once you have entered all the details, simply start the connection to your server to enter the username and password in the next step.
