FTP Accounts
What's FTP? What?s an FTP account? When do you need to have one?
FTP (File Transfer Protocol), is the most popular means for uploading website files to a web hosting account. With an FTP software program that is installed on your desktop PC or laptop, you can connect to your web hosting server and copy all of the files that you want with several clicks. This is done via an easy-to-work-with interface and it is as easy as dragging ‘n’ dropping the files in question. The advantage of using FTP is that you can set up different FTP accounts, each one with a different level of access to your online storage space, so if you have to provide someone with access, for example – a designer, they will be able to access only one particular directory and will not be able to access the rest of your content or any other information, including private details. You need three things to be able to set up an FTP connection – a hostname, which is normally a domain or an IP, a user name and a password.

FTP Accounts in Web Hosting
Each of the
web hosting plans that we’re offering will allow you to set up an unlimited number of FTP accounts, so you will be able to manage the content of your websites independently or to provide other persons with access to any Internet site in your web hosting account. In case you’ve got a web design program installed on your home computer, you’ll be able to administer multiple websites all at once and to update them without effort. In case you give the login information to some other individual for a given task, you’ll be able to edit the password for that FTP account or to delete it entirely with just a couple of mouse clicks and avoid any risk of unsolicited access to your website content from then on. For the sake of convenience, all FTP accounts that you set up will be displayed alphabetically in the respective section of your Hepsia Control Panel.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our
semi-dedicated plans are incredibly powerful, which makes them suitable for hosting a lot of Internet sites. Speaking of which, we have decided not to put a limit on the number of FTP accounts that you can set up, so you can have a separate account for each website that you host on our platform. All FTP accounts will be shown alphabetically in the respective section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is included with each and every semi-dedicated server account. For any of them, you will be able to check the access path and to edit it, if needed. In addition, you can set up an account in a client of your preference by downloading an auto-config file and running it on your home PC, which will save you time. If you’ve never had a hosting account previously, you can check out our elaborate instructional video clips, which can be accessed through the exact same Control Panel section.

FTP Accounts in VPS Servers
The
VPS server plans that we’re offering will allow you to create unlimited FTP accounts to manage the content of your sites. This is valid regardless of which VPS package you get and which Control Panel you pick during the order procedure – DirectAdmin, cPanel or Hepsia. In all cases, you will receive FTP access to the VPS server without having to install any software, since an FTP server is an integral part of the standard software stack that comes with the VPS plans by default. You can create one FTP account for each domain or subdomain that you have registered or even multiple accounts for a single directory – in case you want a number of users to be able to connect to the web content in it using their very own personal sign-in credentials. With any of the available Control Panels, creating, deleting or modifying an FTP account takes no more than a few clicks through a simple-to-use web interface.
