SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol that's used to exchange encrypted info between a client and a website hosting server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any info. Many tech-savvy clients choose SSH mainly because of the higher level of security. The connection is established and the commands are delivered using a command line. The available options depend on the type of hosting service - on a shared server, in particular, files may be moved or deleted, databases may be imported and exported, and archives may be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, the options are a lot more - the web server and the database server could be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software can be installed and 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 shall be affected. Although SSH is employed predominantly with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs too - Windows, Mac OS, and so on.
