SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol employed to transfer protected information between a client and a hosting server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any data. Many tech-savvy customers opt for SSH due to the enhanced level of security. The connection is created and the commands are delivered via a command line. The accessible options depend on the type of hosting service - on a shared server, for example, files could be relocated 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 significantly more - the web server and the database server could be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software could be installed and much more. These things aren't possible on a shared server, because full root access is required and all the other customers on that server will be affected. Although SSH is employed mainly with UNIX-like OSs, there are SSH clients for other OSs too - Windows, Mac OS, and so forth.
