How do I login via SSH?

How do I login via SSH? SSH2 access is permitted under Pro plan only. It is not available on any other plan.

You will require a SSH client.

A good commercial Windows one is SecureCRT

A good free one is PuTTY

The hostname is your_domain.com
The username is the one you created on signup
And password is the one you set at signup.

The authentication type is Password.
The protocol is SSH2 and port number either 10022 or 1546 depending on the server you on.

I attempted to follow these directions and there is nothing labeled "SSH Access" under my Accounts. I'm assuming that I must contact customer support?

Currently, we are not providing SSH access to all accounts, and unless you explicitly specify the SSH request. We have removed the option for enabling SSH access from Account Management Center.

Please open a support ticket, if you want SSH access for your account. Also note that, SSH access is available only in Pro plan.

What about for Linux users using a terminal?

From a Linux terminal, you can access SSH by using this syntax (if your account has SSH enabled) :

ssh cPanel_Username@your_domain.com -p10022

Where,
cPanel_Username : Username that you use to log into cPanel
your_domain.com : Your domain's name. If the domain is not pointed to the server that hosts your account, you can use server's hostname or IP instead.

Please open a support ticket, if you encounter any issues or if you need any assistance.
