Can I have telnet (ssh) access?

Most common tasked that would normally be performed as unix/linux commands can be performed using cPanel, so there is a diminished need for telnet/ssh access.

At any rate, telnet (port 23) is closed for security reasons. SSH (port 22) login is not available by default, but if you need it, you can make a support request and we will set up SSH access for you.
