SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol that's used to transfer encoded information between a client and a hosting server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any info. Many tech-savvy clients choose SSH because of the improved security level. The connection is created and the commands are delivered via a command line. The offered options depend on the type of hosting service - on a shared server, for example, files can be moved or deleted, databases may be imported and exported, and archives could be set up or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, the choices are significantly more - the web server and the database server could be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software can be installed and much more. These things are not possible on a shared server, because full root access is needed and all the other customers on that server shall be affected. Even though SSH is used primarily with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so forth.
