SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol employed to exchange encrypted information between a client and a hosting server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any info. Many tech-savvy clients favor SSH mainly because of the improved security level. The connection is created and the commands are delivered through a command line. The offered options depend on the type of Internet hosting service - on a shared server, for instance, files may be transferred or deleted, databases could be imported and exported, and archives can be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your options are much more - the web server and the database server can be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software can be installed and more. These things are not possible on a shared server, since full root access is needed and all the other customers on that server will be affected. Even though SSH is employed predominantly with UNIX-like OSs, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so forth.
