SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol that's 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 customers opt for SSH mainly because of the higher level of security. The connection is created and the commands are sent via a command line. The accessible options depend on the type of hosting service - on a shared server, in particular, files could be relocated or deleted, databases could be imported and exported, and archives may be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your choices are significantly more - the web server and the database server can be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software may be installed and much more. These things aren't possible on a shared server, due to the fact that full root access is needed and all the other customers on that server would be affected. Even though SSH is used mainly with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so forth.
