SSL Shell/Telnet access
SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer, which is a means
of providing encrypted communications on the Internet.
CPanel provides you with an online SSL Shell (an application)
that allows you to log in to the Linux computer that
is your web server and make changes at the server side.
You use Telnet (the Internet standard protocol for remote
login) commands through the SSL Shell to activate the
web server.
Note: If you do not know exactly
what you are doing, you can potentially cause problems
on your web server. Please contact your hosting administrator
if you are not sure how to use SSL.
