SSH Access
Some of you may have noticed the latest and greatest feature we began offering to our 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 our existing customers, we're 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.
*Currently, customers using ColdFusion do not have SSH access.

Been waiting for this. Glad it is finally available.

Why don't you guys figure out an automated way to allow people who've databases also to shift to the new SSH enabled servers? Shouldn't be too hard to make backups of databases and shift the files automatically...

That is great! Will it be possible to install a service like subversion on a shared hosting account?

Speaking of Linux, when will Fedora be updated for virtual dedicated servers?
GoDaddy only offers Fedora v7. Fedora v10 is the newest version. This means that GoDaddy is 3 versions behind the current Fedora release.

We will have an article about that shortly!

I am really interested to know when/if this will become available. I have a hosting account scheduled to expire in August and if this feature is not available by then I am afraid that I will have to move the account to another provider. Ability to RSYNC would be appreciated as well.

We're looking to squeeze this in to our current projects soon. We'll keep you posted.

Good stuff. However, will one be able to log in as root on a shared server?

Please install rsync for sync between websites. Thank you.
