SSH (Secure Shell) is a network protocol that provides a secure way to access and manage your server over an unsecured network .
- Function: It creates an encrypted tunnel between your local computer and your Hostaday hosting server.
- Usage: Unlike the graphical cPanel interface, SSH allows you to execute text-based Linux commands, manage files, and run scripts directly on the server's operating system . It is essential for developers and advanced users who need more control over their environment.
