How to Enable SSH Access in Hostinger

Enabling access via SSH to your Web or Cloud hosting plan at Hostinger

Updated 2 weeks ago

If your hosting plan is Web Premium or greater, you can access your hosting via SSH. The SSH access type is restricted to your home directory and below.

To establish an SSH connection, first, you will need to enable it by heading to Websites → Dashboard and searching for SSH Access on the sidebar:

Hostinger dashboard menu with SSH Access option highlighted under Advanced

On the SSH status, click on Enable:

That’s it! Now you will be able to connect to your account using SSH.

If you have a Single hosting plan and you definitely need SSH access, you can consider upgrading your hosting plan 🚀
