SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol used to exchange protected information between a client and a website hosting server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any info. Many tech-savvy customers opt for SSH because of the higher level of security. The connection is made and the commands are sent via a command line. The available options depend on the type of Internet hosting service - on a shared server, for example, files may be transferred or deleted, databases may be imported and exported, and archives could be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your choices are considerably more - the web server and the database server can be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software can be installed and much more. These things aren't possible on a shared server, since full root access is needed and all the other customers on that server would be affected. Although SSH is employed largely with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so forth.
