# Do you offer Telnet or SSH access?

For security purposes we disable SSH by default. We do offer SSH/shell access to our clients upon request, just drop us a request and and we can enable it for you. You may be asked to supply a valid state issued photo ID or passport before we enable shell access on your hosting account.
