Accessing Terminal on cPanel Print

SSH/Terminal access lets you connect directly to your hosting account and execute Linux commands, which is extremely useful for developers when building, configuring, or deploying websites and applications. There are two main ways to open the terminal for your hosting account.

Via cPanel

1. Log in to your hosting account using your username and password.
2. Scroll to the Advanced section and click on Terminal.
3. You will be directed to the terminal interface where you can run any Linux commands you need.

NOTE: If the Terminal option is missing from your cPanel, SSH access has not yet been activated on your account. Please send an email to support@whogohost.com to request that SSH access be enabled.

Via SSH Client (Using PuTTY)

1. Launch the PuTTY application on your computer.
2. Enter the hostname (for example: example.example.com).
3. Set the port to 22 (the default SSH port).
4. Click Open to start the connection.
5. When prompted, type your cPanel/hosting username.
6. Enter your password when asked.

After completing these steps, you’ll be logged into your hosting account through SSH.
