Secure Shell, commonly known as SSH, is a cryptographic network protocol that is used to execute commands on a remote web server or to exchange data between a hosting server and a client. Due to the fact that the info exchanged by the two sides is encrypted, a 3rd party can't intercept it, which makes SSH a favorite means of managing an Internet hosting account. The commands that may be executed depend on the type of hosting service. On a shared hosting server, for instance, the possibilities are limited as you simply won't have root access to the web server, so you can only create/move/delete files, create and unpack archives, import and export databases, and so on. They are all actions which are carried out within the shared hosting account and do not need a higher level of access. Through a virtual or a dedicated server, you will have the option to set up server-side software or to restart the machine or just a particular service (web server, database server, etc.). SSH commands are submitted with a command line, but if you don't use a UNIX-like Operating System, there are a number of applications for other OSs, you can employ to connect to the remote web server as well.
