SSH

SSH (Secure Shell) is available through support. It is designed to allow strong authentication and secure communications over insecure channels. It's a secure way to connect to your domain, even if you are not on a secure network. SSH is a protocol you may use in lieu of FTP and telnet.

If you have not already set up an SSH through Customer Support, you will receive a message informing you that you need to gain permission to be set up. To do so, you must send a copy of photo identification to Customer Service. Once this information is received, Customer Service will set up an SSH for you; this will allow you to install your SSH key.

To access the SSH Manager:

Click the SSH icon in your Control Panel.

Using SSH

To set-up SSH after Customer Service has enabled it on your server:

1. Create your RSA key. Your software will have directions on how to do this, follow them carefully.

2. Input your key in the text-box provided for it.

3. Click Submit.

4. A screen will display, allowing you to enter up to three IP addresses, from which you will be able to access your domain via SSH.

5. Click Submit when finished. You will be asked to confirm your choices. If you wish to allow the IP addresses displayed to access your domain through SSH, click Confirm.

6. A confirmation will display, informing you that the request will be completed by the server within ten (10) minutes, and you will be able to log-in to your domain using your SSH software,

Once you've set up SSH, you will need to obtain and install your own SSH software to access your domain through SSH.
