I have an account on my college server and I access it on linux terminal using

  ssh {username}@{hostname}.com

I was Wondering if there is a way to access this account only by typing.

  ssh {hostname}

Answer 1

Put this into your $HOME/.ssh/config:

Host somealias
    HostName example.com
    Port 22
    User myuser

You can then type ssh somealias and it will actually do a ssh -p 22 myuser@example.com

Answer 2

Like the comments say: Yes, if username is the same on both client and server
