Connect to Your Server or Shared Hosting Account with SSH

All of our Linux-based shared hosting accounts (more info) and servers (VPS or dedicated) let you connect to them via SSH using a client. We recommend using...

PuTTy for Windows
OpenSSH or Mac and Linux

After downloading and installing one of these clients, use the following settings to connect via SSH:

Field	What to enter...
Host Name or IP Address	Your account's domain name or IP address Web & Classic / cPanel shared / Server
Port	22
Username	Your account's primary username Web & Classic / cPanel shared / Server
Password	Your account's password Web & Classic / cPanel shared / Server

Once you have entered the host name or IP address and the port, open the connection. Once connected, you will be prompted for the user name and password.
