I hope you're not implying that just because someone has SSH access, on your
server, they have access to all your customer info and can run all sorts of
bad things, etc. That's not true at all. Anyone who knows how, can run
just about anything via CGI that they could/can via SSH...its just more
convenient to do it via SSH.
Anyway, most any Cpanel host should be able to give you SSH access (directed
to the original poster).
