We offer you jailed SSH, which limits access to your account only. There is a one time charge of $10 per account you would like activated.

How do I use it?

To access SSH, download WinSCP or PuTTY. Enter your IP address and port 2222; login with your cPanel username and password.

The jailed shell has a virtual filesystem that does not allow access to the processes, so you will not be able see how many processes are running under your account.

Linux

To connect run the following command from a terminal:
ssh -p 2222 cpanelusr@ip.add.re.ss
(port 2222 would be used for all accounts)

Mac

To open the terminal in Mac go to Applications → Utilities → Terminal

Then type in the following command:
ssh -p 2222 cpanelusr@ip.add.re.ss
(port 2222 would be used for all accounts)
