SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol employed to transfer encoded data between a client and a web server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any data. Many tech-savvy customers favor SSH mainly because of the improved security level. The connection is established and the commands are sent using a command line. The offered options depend on the type of hosting service - on a shared server, for instance, files can be transferred or deleted, databases may be imported and exported, and archives may be set up or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your options are considerably more - the web server and the database server could be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software may be set up and a lot more. These things are not possible on a shared server, for the reason that full root access is needed and all the other customers on that server would be affected. While SSH is employed mainly with UNIX-like OSs, there are SSH clients for other OSs too - Windows, Mac OS, and so forth.
