Secure Shell File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) is available on all managed dedicated server hosting accounts. This method is more secure than traditional FTP, as it utilizes SSH protocol to encrypt file transfers.
Secure Shell (SSH) is a protocol that provides secure command-line access to your ViniHost account. For added security, we use non-standard SSH port 7822 by default.
E-mail is an important part of running a website, and cPanel makes it easy to set up and manage accounts. For more information about how to set up e-mail accounts for your domain, please see our articles on configuring and accessing your e-mail.
Free DV SSL certificates are provisioned automatically through a server-side program called AutoSSL. SSL Certificates renew automatically to ensure continuous coverage.
