SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol that's used to transfer protected data between a client and a website hosting server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any data. Many tech-savvy customers favor SSH because of the improved level of security. The connection is made and the commands are sent using a command line. The offered options depend on the type of hosting service - on a shared server, in particular, files can be transferred or deleted, databases could be imported and exported, and archives could be set up or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your choices are significantly more - the web server and the database server could be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software can be installed and a lot more. These things are not possible on a shared server, because full root access is required and all the other clients on that server shall be affected. Though SSH is employed largely with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs too - Windows, Mac OS, and so forth.
