SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol that is used to transfer encoded data between a client and a website hosting server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any data. Many tech-savvy clients opt for SSH due to the higher security level. The connection is created and the commands are delivered using a command line. The offered options depend on the type of Internet 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 choices are considerably more - the web server and the database server may be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software could be set up and a lot more. These things aren't possible on a shared server, since full root access is needed and all the other clients on that server will be affected. Although SSH is employed predominantly with UNIX-like OSs, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so on.
