SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol which is used to transfer encrypted info between a client and a web server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any data. Many tech-savvy customers opt for SSH due to the improved level of security. The connection is made and the commands are delivered through a command line. The offered options depend on the type of hosting service - on a shared server, for instance, files may be relocated or deleted, databases can be imported and exported, and archives can be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your choices are much more - the web server and the database server could be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software can be set up and much more. These things aren't possible on a shared server, due to the fact that full root access is required and all the other customers on that server would be affected. While SSH is used predominantly with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so on.
