Cronjobs are repeated little pieces of code that are set up by the server-admin or webmaster to be run at specific times of day (for example, grab the weather and export it to an XML file every hour so you don't bog down the service)

If you are going to be running cronjobs or using the MySQL command line (not phpMyAdmin or something like it) then you need Telnet or SSH access
Hope this has helped!

What are cronjobs?

Bad experience with Ipowerweb

Fri, 13 Aug 2004 05:31:40 +0000

I had a very bad experience with Ipowerweb. It was for a dedicated server. They deleted all my files by mistake and gave the server to someone else. I complained and now after 5 days they did not answer me yet. They did not backup my files (only 1 Giga but very important) which is the minumum they could do. Ipowerweb is the worse host company I ever met.

No need for it

If you will keep using shared servers, %99.9 of hosting out there provide you a full-customizable control panel. I suggest you to keep using iPowerWEB, especially when I have seen their new cpanel, man it's way too proffessional!
Telnet and SSH are usually used and provided for dedicated server which can let you control over you server as it was in your home, some features may require you to use telnet, especially in ipowerweb's dedicated servers or servers that uses PLESK in general. You may face some problems that may require you to use telnet.

If you have a good control panel, there is no need for Telnet/SSH access. For same reasons mentioned above, we don't give shell access to any customers.

telnet and ssh provide shell access to a remote server. ssh (secure shell) is encrypted, while telnet is not, which is why you would never want to access root or a privileged user through telnet.
