FTP Accounts
Understand more about what FTP actually is, what it does and what is the main benefit of having multiple FTP Accounts.
FTP (File Transfer Protocol), represents one of the most widely used methods for transferring files between a computer system and a server. Using an FTP software program like FileZilla, you can set up a connection to your hosting account and drag & drop files or whole directories in either direction and the software will handle the rest. There are a number of pluses of employing File Transfer Protocol, including the ability to resume an upload/download when there’s a problem with the FTP connection or the possibility to set up different FTP accounts. With the latter option, you can set up FTP users that can connect only to particular folders in your web hosting account, but no other folders, emails or other info, which makes it the best option in case you have to grant a web designer access, for example. You can also use an FTP account with famous website building applications such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver and upload the website content that you’ve created straight from them, without the need to make use of third-party software.

FTP Accounts in VPS Servers
None of the
VPS plans offered by our company includes any limitation on the maximum number of FTP accounts that you can have at any moment, so you can set up a separate FTP account for any website hosted on your server, irrespective of whether it is under a domain or sub-domain. It also does not matter which hosting Control Panel you’ll select when you subscribe – cPanel, Hepsia or DirectAdmin, since an FTP server will be set up on your VPS during the installation of any of them. In case you want different individuals to connect to the very same folder using their own personal sign-in credentials, for instance, it will take a few mouse clicks to set up a separate FTP account for each one of them. Deleting an active account or changing the folder that it can connect to is just as easy and you won’t experience any impediment, even if you don’t have any past experience in such matters.
