Using SSH to Manage Your Account on Unique Hosting Private Limited
Secure Shell (SSH) is a powerful tool that allows you to manage your website's files and server configurations from the command line. With Unique Hosting Private Limited, you can use SSH to manage your account easily. Here's how to do it:
Step 1: Enable SSH access
Before you can use SSH to manage your account, you'll need to enable SSH access for your account. To do this, log in to your cPanel account at https://uniquehosting.com/cp/login and navigate to the "SSH Access" section. Click on "Manage SSH Keys" to add a public key or generate a new key pair. Once you've added or generated your public key, click "Manage" and select "Enable" to enable SSH access for your account.
Step 2: Connect to your account via SSH
To connect to your account via SSH, you'll need to use an SSH client. There are many SSH clients available, including OpenSSH, PuTTY, and SecureCRT. Choose an SSH client that you're comfortable with and install it on your computer.
Once you've installed your SSH client, open it and enter the following information:
- Hostname: Your server's hostname or IP address (you can find this information in your cPanel account)
- Username: Your cPanel username
- Password: Your cPanel password (you may also be prompted for your SSH key passphrase if you created an SSH key pair)
Once you've entered this information, click "Connect" to connect to your account via SSH.
Step 3: Use SSH to manage your account
Once you've connected to your account via SSH, you can use the command line to manage your website's files and server configurations. Here are a few common SSH commands:
- cd: Change directory
- ls: List files in the current directory
- mkdir: Create a new directory
- rm: Remove a file or directory
- nano: Edit a file using the nano text editor
Make sure to use caution when using SSH, as some commands can cause irreversible damage to your website or server. Always back up your files before making any changes and double-check your commands before executing them.
