Some of you may have noticed the latest and greatest feature GoDaddy began offering to the Linux shared hosting customers. SSH, or Secure Shell, is a program that you can use to log in to another computer over a network. In this way you can execute commands on a remote machine and then move files from one machine to another.
Where do I find this new feature?
All paid accounts will find SSH under 'Settings' in the Hosting Control Center.
How do I begin?
First, you will need to enable SSH in your hosting account using the following help article.
Enabling SSH on Your Linux Shared Hosting Account
Once my account is enabled how do I connect?
In order to connect, you will need an SSH client. Use this article for instructions.
Using SSH to Connect to Your Linux Shared Hosting Account
In order to provide the best experience, customers using SSH are required to be located in our newest hosting environment. All new hosting accounts will have SSH available. For existing customers, GoDaddy is in the process of creating a mechanism for you to have your account moved to the new environment. This mechanism is currently available if your hosting account does not have any databases configured for it. If you do have databases, you may choose to use the existing MySQL database backup feature to save your content before removing that database and enabling SSH.
