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