Connect to your hosting plan via SSH to access your account directly from the command line, using the login details found in Hostinger dashboard. SSH access is available on Premium Web higher plans — it isn’t available on Single Web plans.<\/p>

Step 1 – Enable SSH access and copy the SSH command<\/h2>

The first thing you will need to do is enable SSH access. It can be done from your SSH Access page in Hostinger dashboard<\/a><\/b>.<\/p>

After this, copy the SSH Command<\/b>:<\/p>

Step 2 – Choose an SSH client for your operating system<\/h2>

macOS<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Windows<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

You can use Terminal <\/b>for SSH connection<\/p>\n

To run it, click Ctrl + Alt + T <\/b>or Search <\/b>→ Terminal<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

You can use Terminal <\/b>for SSH connection<\/p>\n

To run it, search for Terminal<\/b> in Spotlight<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

You can use any SSH client<\/b> available<\/p>\n

We recommend PuTTY<\/a> <\/b>(full tutorial<\/a><\/b>), PenguiNet<\/b>, or connecting via PowerShell<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>

Step 3 – Connect to your hosting plan via SSH<\/h2>

In the case of Terminal, insert the command you copied in the first step. For PuTTY, insert the parameters as described in the tutorial. In both cases, you will see the result like this:<\/p>

The authenticity of host '[185.185.185.185]:65002 ([185.185.185.185]:65002)' can't be established.\r\nECDSA key fingerprint is SHA256:Eze2ImXw1MWfgAMbcWxfc2EQwAkgTHOEPsNwSnEAHAQ.\r\nAre you sure you want to continue connecting (yes\/no)? <\/code><\/pre>
This is an expected result; just type yes<\/code>.<\/p>
Then, you will be asked to insert the password:<\/p>
u123456789@185.185.185.185's password:<\/code><\/pre>
