# How do I access my hosting via SSH?

If you're on the *MINISITE* plan, SSH access isn't available. You'll need to [change your plan](https://help.hodi.host/en/article/how-do-i-change-my-package-vl1r5/) to get it.

> **Warning:** for security reasons, Hodi's SSH port is not port 22 but **port 22974**.

## Username
The username to use is your cPanel username, which you can find in your [Client Area](https://hodi.host/clientarea.php) under "My services":

* Click the relevant hosting service:
