You might Google for your hosting company and SSH access. It looks like there’s a forum post from 2015 about it on your hosting company’s site. I can’t access it at work because we have super restrictive internet access. With generalized hosting companies like Bluehost, they’ll often ask for a copy of your ID before they give you SSH access.
FYI, PHPMyAdmin is a terrible industry standard among hosting companies that don’t want to try at all. It’s basically an internet facing screen door into your MySQL database. I’m not sure that Minecraft would use MySQL much though, so you may be okay.
They should have an SSH link on the dash just like any other host site. Check out Digital Ocean. Jupiter Broadcasting has a deal where they give you 100 bucks for free with a promo code but I forget what it is.
First of all, you’re going to need PuTTY and maybe something like FileZilla to manage files on the server via GUI. I would try connecting with the same info you use to connect to your minecraft server, minus the port of course. SSH is usually done over port 22 unless otherwise specified. Use the same logins as your phpmyadmin. If that doesnt work, you will likely have to wait for them to respond. FWIW I have hosted many minecraft servers but I have never used a hosting company that only provides minecraft hosting. I usually used Digital Ocean or I self hosted from my own connection. Digital Ocean is probably not worth using since you would need lots of RAM and that can get expensive.
got filezilla working used that many times in the past.
got putty installed but can’t figure out how to connect to my server put in the ip and it asks for a password. entered all the passwords they sent me none of them are working and my support tickets are no longer being answered
searched there own forums and done many google searches unless i’m missing something i can’t find anything that leads me to the right place
Unfortunately you are going to have to contact their support staff and prove to them that you are who you say you are. The password you are looking for shoul b’s be a general one. When I had my web server I had to contact their support staff which showed me where on the control software for the server which page displa yes the password for saying into my server. Most hosting companies won’t send the password by email, at least that has been my experience. I hope this helps.
