I wonder about this more and more. Is telnet really that dangerous in comparison to SSH when OpenSSL is getting patched almost weekly?
How many admins allow root logins, and don't do their updates?? We do of course :) But it is a lot of work, sometimes and it makes me wonder.
Thanks,
Eric

Yes, switch to a sane webhost. They're a dime-a-dozen these days. And you really don't want telnet. Perhaps you meant ssh, but said "telnet" as a casual representation for ssh.
