SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol employed to exchange protected info between a client and a web server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any info. Many tech-savvy clients opt for SSH because of the improved security level. The connection is made and the commands are delivered using a command line. The available options depend on the type of hosting service - on a shared server, for instance, files may be transferred or deleted, databases can be imported and exported, and archives can be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, the choices are a lot more - the web server and the database server may be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software could be installed plus much more. These things aren't possible on a shared server, for the reason that full root access is required and all the other customers on that server will be affected. While SSH is used primarily with UNIX-like OSs, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so on.
