title: "About ~vern's SSH service"
---

SSH stands for Secure SHell, and it allows you to connect remotely to other computers over the internet.

~vern has it's pubnix, a public unix machine. It's great for hosting small projects and files, and essential to posting your [user sites](/guides/usersites/). It's configuration is: it's a virtual machine running 4 vCPUs, with 8GB of memory dedicated to it, and 512GB of storage.
You can install your own software without root privileges. There is also a collection of default apps (coreutils, text editors, etc).

If you don't know how to create a SSH key, then go to [How to Register on ~vern](/guides/register/). If you don't know how to use it either, use [this guide](/guides/ssh/).
