Rent an SFTP/FTP at a bargain price

FTP Hosting is essentially a conventional web hosting, but with more memory for storage and greater traffic capacity. Renting an FTP is for those who store and transfer large files to the Internet: photos, text documents, audio and video files.

Our company, along with professional hosting service, offers FTP servers from 50 to 2000 GB for rent.

What is SFTP?

SFTP, is NOT just an encrypted version of the FTP protocol. Although it serves the same purpose of transferring and managing files, SFTP differs significantly from FTP and FTPS. Many of these differences are due to the fact that SFTP sits on top of the SSH (Secure Shell) protocol.

One of the main differences is the use of ports. Unlike two discrete ports, SFTP uses only one. By default, this port is TCP port 22 (the default SSH port). Using the SSH port has the added advantage of making SFTP more «firewall friendly» and less likely to be blocked by default.

In addition, SFTP allows users to benefit from the use of SSH keys. SSH keys add an extra layer of security to the authentication process.

The advantages of SFTP – the ubiquity of SFTP on most Linux/Unix servers, the firewall advantages of using a single port, and the security advantages of using SSH.

If the domain is transferred to our NS –servers, it is sufficient to simply specify ftp before the name of the website.

To enter a rented FTP the following data is used:

• server address;
• username;
• password.

In most cases, user name is the name of your account, which is also used to enter the control panel.

Depending on the number of domains and sub-domains you may need several FTP-repositories. In this case, you need to create a separate FTP user. This should be done in a special section of the Control Panel.
