1. Contact our hosting support via Live Chat or via the ticket system in order to enable SSH access for your account. 

2. Open your SSH client, put your domain name or the IP address of the server into the Host Name field (you can also use server name here, you can check it using this tutorial ), enter 21098 into the Port field, choose SSH as your connection type and press the Open button:
