Post SSH and Your Dedicated Hosting

Dedicated hosting is something that everyone can enjoy and participate in but if you have experience, it is likely that you will get more out of it. This is probably true for all things in life but there is a definite need to develop experience so everyone has to start somewhere. Terms like SSH may seem foreign to people starting out with dedicated hosting but over time, they will become very natural.

SSH stands for Secure Shell and it is UNIX based command interface and protocol that provides access to a remote computer. This access is secure, making it an extremely popular choice for many within the dedicated hosting community. The importance of security can never be overlooked and it is essential that companies and individuals are including a security element in their decision making.

SSH is a mixture of three separate utilities, scp, ssh and slogin, and these are all secure variations of previous UNIX utilities, which were rcp, rsh and rlogin. A major benefit of using SSH commands comes with the fact that these commands are encrypted and secured in a number of different methods. There is an authentication process at either side of the client and server connection, which is completed with a digital certificate and all passwords are secured by encryption.

A key factor in using SSH is the fact that it allows you to connect to the dedicated hosting server and carry out Linux command-line operations. If you use a Windows based Operating System, you will realize that there is no default SSH client although many are available to choose from. PuTTY is one of the most popular and probably one of the easiest for beginners to use.
