SSH
All of the Web Hosting plans we offer include full shell access to our web servers. Clients can access the UNIX shell using Secure Shell (SSH). SSH is a fully encrypted and secure protocol for interfacing with UNIX servers. All SSH connections encrypt data sent between the client and the server - ensuring that things like passwords or other sensitive information are not easily intercepted.

UNIX shell access can come in very handy when developing, installing or debugging CGI Scripts or other software. You'll have full access to web server log files and common development tools like perl, python, gcc, make, javac, and many other development and debugging tools.

SSH Client Software
There are several SSH client software packages available for free. If you don't already have one, you can download one of the SSH clients shown below.

PuTTY - A well known, free and feature-rich SSH Client. Runs on all versions of Windows 95 or newer.

MacSSH - MacSSH is an SSH client for use on Mac computers that are running older versions of the MacOS. Any MacOS version less than MacOS X can use MacSSH. MacOS X or newer includes ssh by default.

Telnet is Disabled
We do not enable Telnet on our web servers. Telnet is an insecure protocol that transmits data in the clear. In addition telnet is known to have several security holes. We only allow SSH connections to our server. This helps to ensure security of the server from attacks or hack attempts.
