How can I create an SSH key?

To generate an RSA type SSH key - not SSH-1 (RSA):

On Windows, you can download PuTTY from here.

On Mac, open Terminal from Applications.

Follow the instructions from each application in order to create your SSH key.

Please send us the SSH key only in the format below (as highlighted by the purple rectangle), without us having to make modifications to the SSH key.

Once you have created it, make sure you remember where you private key is kept, as PuTTY, Terminal, Apple, and Crioshavyn cannot retrieve those for you if you lose it..

Keep it in a safe location on your PC, and do not give it to anyone that asks for it.

Crioshavyn and its employees will not ask for your private key.

You will however need to provide us the public key of your SSH in order for us to enable it on each of your website.

We recommend using a password manager like Dashlane (has free tier), 1Password (paid), and Bitwarden (has a free tier. Use their Send feature) to provide us those details.
