SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol which is used to exchange encrypted information between a client and a hosting server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any information. Many tech-savvy customers prefer SSH because of the enhanced security level. The connection is established and the commands are sent using a command line. The accessible options depend on the type of hosting service - on a shared server, in particular, files could be relocated or deleted, databases may be imported and exported, and archives can 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 could be installed and a lot more. These things are not possible on a shared server, due to the fact that full root access is needed and all the other clients on that server will be affected. While SSH is used primarily with UNIX-like OSs, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so forth.
