Enabling SSH Access (for Developers)
SSH (Secure Shell) access gives developers secure, command-line control over their hosting environment — perfect for version control, advanced scripts, or server-side file management.

Is SSH Access Included?
Yes — SSH access is included with most Envosta plans by default. If you don’t see the option in your dashboard, reach out and we’ll activate it for you.
Step 1: Generate Your SSH Key
- On your local machine, open Terminal (Mac/Linux) or Git Bash (Windows)
- Run:
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "your@email.com" - Follow prompts and save the key (e.g., to
~/.ssh/id_rsa) - Copy the public key by running:
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
Never share your private key — only upload the public key to Envosta.
Step 2: Add Your Public Key to Envosta
- Log in at envosta.com/login
- Go to Services > Your Hosting Plan
- Open the SSH Access section
- Paste your public key and click Save
Your key will be authorized for secure login.
Step 3: Connect via Terminal
ssh username@yourdomain.com -p 22
If you saved your key to a non-default path, use:
ssh -i /path/to/key username@yourdomain.com -p 22
