SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol that's used to exchange encrypted data between a client and a web server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any data. Many tech-savvy customers choose SSH mainly because of the improved security level. The connection is created and the commands are sent via a command line. The available options depend on the type of hosting service - on a shared server, in particular, files can be transferred or deleted, databases may be imported and exported, and archives could be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, the choices are much more - the web server and the database server can be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software may be set up plus much more. These things aren't possible on a shared server, due to the fact that full root access is required and all the other clients on that server shall be affected. Even though SSH is used primarily with UNIX-like OSs, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so forth.
