How to Set Up SSH Access Securely Print

SSH (Secure Shell) allows advanced users to access their hosting server via a command-line interface. It is encrypted and secure, but should be configured properly to avoid risks.

Steps to Enable SSH Access:

1. Submit a support request from your Aviumshost Client Area to request SSH access (if not already enabled).
2. Once enabled, log in via an SSH client such as PuTTY (Windows) or Terminal (Mac/Linux).
3. Use the login credentials provided — usually your cPanel username and password.
4. Connect to your domain or server IP using port 22.

Security Tips:

• Use strong passwords or SSH keys.
• Limit login attempts via firewall rules.
• Disable root access if applicable.

SSH is a powerful tool — use it carefully and always log out when done.
