I would like to how it works with all these programs that you are teaching when we use web provider from the internet.

When we pay a provider they give us access to a shell for us to install the programs the same way you do in your videos?

Hi Renato,

The details will be different depending on which web host you go with, but generally you are given remote access to your web server just like any other computer. SSH is a common way to log in remotely, and you can upload files using SFTP. If you are already familiar with using a command line interface, such as the terminal in Mac OS X and Linux, then administering a remote server is not very different.
