How to: Enable SSH access on Bluehost Account.

If you hold a web hosting account then i think SSH access to your hosting should be your top priority.Here we will get you through complete procedure of how we enabled it for our hosting (BlueHost). For those who are not aware of what SSH is all about, for them we have provided a brief explanation.

What is SSH ?

SSH(Secure Shell) is a secure and encrypted channel between computer for mainly data flow.Here we need to have a server and client for the communication.

Why we need SSH?

1.SSH(Secure Shell) as the name says is secure because the data that flows using this protocol is encrypted.
2.Its fast and easy to use.
3.It makes life easier for a webmaster to edit files but need Unix skills indeed.
4.Can also be used for Secure copy (SCP) and Secure File transfer (SFTP) also.

1.Get in touch with the Bluehost Team through phone or Live chat and provide your hosting details for account verification.

2.They will ask for any ID proof/Credit card scanned copy etc for webhost account’s actual owner identification.

3.Once you provide the above information the account will be verified within 1hr you can enable SSH access too.

4.Assuming now the account is verified, login to the cpanel and click on SSH/Shell access icon under security.

5.Now click on “Manage SSH access” and enable SSH from the drop down as shown in the image below.
6.Now that the SSH is enabled we need two keys(Public key and Private Key) to setup a successful communication.

7.Click on “Manage SSH key” and then click on generate a key and fill the below form then hit generate.

Note:Use RSA and key size as 4096 for maximum security and remember the password that was used.

8.Once the public and private key is generated down the private key to local host for the SSH client(Example:Putty) to make a secure connection.Finally SSH access on Bluehost Account is enabled.

Why we need to clean Browser Private Data.

We connect to web through browsers.When ever we browse pages few temporary files gets stored in browser cache and login information in cookies.These private data are quiet helpful but at the same time pose a serious threat , below i have listed down few of the unethical consequences one may encounter with these data in there browser.

• Cookie hijacking: Suppose u are doing an online transaction or accessed your hosting cpanel and then after visit a low profile site.Then there are chances that your cookie can be used for some unethical purpose.
• Cache poising: It is mostly related to DNS poisoning but there in this context it is like exploiting your cache and retrieving some valuable information regarding your online presence.
• Browsing History Monitoring : Some people pile up there web history because it makes  there life easier to visit the website from history and reduce the typing and searching but browsing history is more personal than your personal dairy these days so be careful.. 🙂

So, i would suggest one should set automatically clear the private data on browser exit or do so manually.
