Hi,

On my forum someone posted a question about server security, and about hosts that offer SSH. I do not know too much about hosts that offer this feature.

You can see the post here...

Do you know any hosts I could recommend to him for what he needs? Feel free to post directly to him on the forum if you want.

Thanks

Michael,

SSH essentially allows you to use Telnet on a server account in 'secure' mode. There should be a few resources on SSH out there.

Nearly all Alabanza-based hosts should offer SSH, since it is available on the servers (although not enabled by default).
