SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol used to transfer protected data between a client and a website hosting server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any information. Many tech-savvy customers choose SSH because of the higher level of security. The connection is made and the commands are sent via a command line. The accessible options depend on the type of web hosting service - on a shared server, in particular, files may be relocated or deleted, databases may be imported and exported, and archives may be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your options are considerably more - the web server and the database server can be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software could be installed and a lot more. These things aren't possible on a shared server, because full root access is required and all the other clients on that server shall be affected. While SSH is used mainly with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs too - Windows, Mac OS, and so forth.
