I have this for my domain:

What is SSH?
The SSH (Secure Shell) is a UNIX-based command interface and protocol designed to perform a number of functions, such as file transfer between computers, execution of commands on a remote computer, or logging on to a computer over a network. It establishes an encrypted connection between an SSH client and an SSH server.

How do I connect to my account by using SSH?
Firstly click on the Activate button to allow the Secure Shell access. Then choose the SSH password by typing it in both fields. In order to connect to your account via the SSH you will need an SSH client and the following logging details:

Host name:

any of your active domain or subdomain names, e.g. my-best-domain.com
Port:

22 (leave by default)
Login:

your hosting account username
Password:

the SSH password you have set in this section

How do I deactivate the SSH?
If you would like to deactivate the Secure Shell and disallow further access to your account, simply click on the Deactivate button.


Exactly what use do I have of it? Can I upload and execute commands in my domain? I mean like I have this ventrilo server which is run in the commandprompt - can I find similar programs for linux and use them? Strangely enough I've never seen SSH before so im a total n00b when it comes to it.


shitloads of new stuff in my pc. Cant keep track of it all.

deelix has said all you should need to know really.. SSH is simply a secure connection to servers terminal access.. You can run commands, add, edit, change files, create stuff and generally do anything you could do if it was your own local machine (assuming you have the access rights).

Use puTTy to access it if your in windows.
