I have a cheap VPS in the UK and use it combined with SSH tunnel to access websites which are not normally accessible from outside the UK (like BBC iplayer). Together with your other tutorial, explaining how to log in automatically without passwords using PuTTY I configured my girlfriends laptop so that without much fuss and IT knowledge she can also access BBC iplayer from outside the UK - and she loves it.

Make sure that a.) your user password is of decent strength (SSH is a common target for password bruteforcing) and b.) that you have port 22 forwarded on your router if you are behind a NAT so that you can access it from outside of your local network. The SSH client should already be installed on a default Ubuntu install (you can also do this using PuTTY on windows). [...] [...] This will install and start the service.

What I always do is for my upload, I normally create a tar ball (.tar.gz) and upload using sftp, then login using SSH to unpack it. Anyway some cpanel allows the unpack from the cpanel itself SSH is very useful if you’re used to linux shell command.

SSH can represent a real security issue for most cpanel hosts, but the most reasonable solution is "jailed shell/SSH" -- it makes SSH available to all clients, and yet is also is reasonable secure from the hosting provider's point of view. A good compromise. Kind regards, Martin Key Asking for a picture ID for SSH access isn’t unreasonable, but I agree it can be a hassle.

Every kind of security on the net can be broken. Best way is to have an incoming computer that would be used as a filter an that connect that one with cable LAN to your computer.
