SSH/Shell Access
In this section users have a java applet that will load and allow them to login to their account via SSH. SSH can be very useful in managing an account, installing software, and doing common tasks associated with web hosting.
cPanel has done a wonderful job of developing this application to be fully featured and allow a vast range of abilities and uses. Anyone running a site or many sites can benefit from SSH.

Once the main page is loaded, a java applet will automatically load and ask for the user's username and password. Once a user has typed in the required information, the applet will connect the user via SSH to the server and their account. From here a user will be able to do just about anything SSH will allow.
