OpenSSH has become the standard for all free Unix and Linux operating systems, used by millions of users around the world to log in and manage servers. The Secure Shell service enables users to log into computers over a network and then execute commands on the remote machine and move files from one machine to another. The service encrypts connections, helping to secure the host machines and the connection itself.

OpenSSH is provided and managed by the OpenBSD project, composed entirely of volunteers worldwide who contribute their time and expertise to creating free software. Support from companies help ensure the continued success of the open source engineering community and the developing of new technologies. Donations help the project fund acquisition of test hardware and maintenance of needed equipment.

"At Go Daddy, we use OpenSSH extensively to manage our large and rapidly expanding technical infrastructure," says Bob Parsons, GoDaddy founder and CEO. "Our engineering staff relies on it on a constant basis. Go Daddy is very grateful and we want to show our appreciation to this extremely vital organization."
