How Do I Issue Commands To My Server?
I’m hosting a domain on server space that I just rented. I sometimes am told to issue commands to the server via command line but I have no idea how to do that. Can I do it through terminal on OS X?

OS X is good for this. Any Unix based system works well, and you should be able to log in using secure shell (ssh), but you will need to check with the hosting company for how to access it. Once in you should be able to anything required.
i guess… OSX isnt great for that kind of thing, but i guess since its based on BSD it must have some Unix style cmmands..
in unix(linux) and some degree windows, you use telnet or SSH, which is run from terminal.
telnet should be avoided because it is not secure, in favour of SSH. i dunno if mac has an ssh client, or if you have to shell out big bucks for one. maybe consider linux?
