It is important to note that there are two different ways to access your VPS. The first way is through the use of a control Panel like Plesk which allows you to easily manage your websites, domain names, and users. This control panel allows you to accomplish most tasks required for day to day operations. The second method is by using SSH (Secure Shell). SSH allows you to get full root (administrative) access to your VPS through the command line. You may need to use SSH if you want to modify the configuration of services or to install new services on your VPS.
