For the purpose of this tutorial, I will be outlying steps to follow in order to create SSH access in to your blue host server. Most shared hosting servers and cPanel accounts might have very similar steps to undertake when creating SSH access. But keep in mind that this tutorial/ article is specific to Bluehost.
Create SSH Key on Bluehost
In order to access your server using a terminal window. You need to fist enable SSH access on your account. IF you own a shared hosting account with Bluehost it is important that you call / live chat with Bluehost support in order for them to enable SSH access to your server. Once SSH access is enabled you can do the following.

b. Enter the passphrase to unlock the “KEYNAME” key for conversion use the Password when creating the SSH key
c. Click Convert
d. Once the Key is converted you can download it by clicking on the Download button

4. Click AUTH option
5. Browse to the downloaded key location, select the Key.
6. Click Open
7. Optional : you can save your SSH info to putty, refer to video above for more information
8. This will open the terminal window
a. Enter Bluehost cPanel Username
b. Then it will ask for the password for the Key you created
c. If all the information is entered correctly, you will now have SSH access to your Bluehost Server.
Gotta say man... your video is the only one I could find to help where I needed it on this. Thank you!!!
Glad I could help
Works great! Thank you a million sir! The only video that actually explains how to use the key to login correctly.
Thank you so much. I've been struggling with the specifics for these for quite some time now.

Great explanation and super clear. Thank you.

Hey everyone, for me, the login was not the key name, but the login name I normally use for Bluehost's CPanel.
Thank you for the video. Curious to see whether Bluehost is going to grant me this access using their cheapest shared hosting plan. Oh hold now.
Really Very Easy Tutorial. Excellent.
Thanks a ton.
Awesome tutorial! :D
This was very helpful. Thanks for this.
Thx, it works!
Thank you.
Very useful this video, Thanks
Thank you Don! I was struggling with this for a while. I was entering my domain name for the host name instead of the shared IP address, wondering why I wasn't getting a login prompt.

You are a great man
Excellent new suscriber lml

great tutorial
I think the bluehost servers are actually pretty slow in my opinion
I pretty much use password databases.
how do i install nodejs on bluehost shared plan
How do I know if my ssh is enabled or not?
is this what you do to give a developer access
Yes.. I would do this. Its a little work. But its better than giving your main ssh details as you can enable / disable accordingly.
@@donwebsolutions1473 thanks for your reply, I have been hacked by malware.... is this also a way to give someone access to fix the problem
@@mesalesme7501 depends on what the developer needs. He might need acess to cpanel as well based on the server.
Sir, i followed the same way.. but i got "Network Error: connection refused". I'm using windows10 and cpanel hosting. please guide me.. how can i solve this error.
Sorry about the late reply. Please call your hosting support and ask them to activate your SSH access. Also make sure thr key is activated. And most importantly, check your password.
@@donwebsolutions1473 it's ok.. Thank you for your reply. thanks a lot.... :-)
wrong passphrase
ok, solved...you should contact the support and ask to activate the SSH
@@valentinoforever yes.. you need to ask blue host to activate ssh, if you dont know how to do that
thanks alot
You are so awesome THANKYOU
