FTP (File Transfer Protocol), represents one of the most commonly used methods of sending web files between a PC and a web server. With an FTP client program such as FileZilla, you can establish a connection to your website hosting account and drag & drop files or entire directories in either direction and the software will take care of the rest. There’re several advantages of using FTP, including the option to restart a download/upload if there is a problem with the connection and the possibility to have different FTP accounts. Thanks to the latter option, you can set up FTP users that can access only specific folders in your hosting account, but no other folders, email accounts or other information, which makes it the very best solution particularly in case you have to give a web designer access, for example. You can also use an FTP account with famous web design apps such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and upload the Internet sites that you’ve created directly from them, without the need to resort to any 3rd-party software.
FTP Accounts in Shared Website Hosting
Any of the shared website hosting plans offered by our company will permit you to create unlimited FTP accounts, so you’ll be able to administer the content of your websites separately or to give other people access to any website in your web hosting account. In case you’ve got a web design program installed on your home computer, you’ll be able to run multiple Internet sites simultaneously and to update them with no effort. If you provide the login info to some other individual to do a specific task, you’ll be able to update the password for that FTP account or to delete it completely with only a few clicks and prevent any chance of unauthorized access to your website content in the future. For the sake of convenience, all FTP accounts that you create will be listed alphabetically in the respective section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting are rather powerful, which makes them perfect for hosting lots of websites. Speaking of which, we’ve decided not to restrict the number of FTP accounts that you can set up, so you can have a different account for each site that you host on our semi-dedicated servers. All FTP accounts will be displayed alphabetically in the corresponding section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with each and every semi-dedicated account. For any of them, you will be able to view the access path and to modify it, if needed. Furthermore, you can set up the account in an FTP client of your preference by downloading an auto-configuration file and running it on your personal computer, which will save you time. If you have never had a web hosting account before, you can watch our comprehensive instructional video clips, which are available in the exact same section of the Control Panel.
FTP Accounts in VPS Web Hosting
None of the Linux VPS web hosting that we’re offering includes any cap on the total number of FTP accounts that you can manage at any given time, so you can create a separate FTP account for each Internet site hosted on your VPS server, regardless of whether it is under a domain or subdomain. Moreover, it doesn’t matter which hosting Control Panel you will choose when you subscribe – Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel, since an FTP server will be set up on your virtual machine at the time of the installation of any of them. If you want different users to be able to set up an FTP connection to the exact same folder using their very own set of sign-in credentials, for example, it will take several mouse clicks to set up a different FTP account for each of them. Deleting an existing account or modifying the folder that it can connect to is just as easy and you won’t experience any problem, even if you don’t have any prior experience in such matters.
