SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol that is used to exchange encrypted information between a client and a website hosting server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any info. Many tech-savvy users choose SSH mainly because of the enhanced level of security. The connection is established and the commands are sent using a command line. The accessible options depend on the type of hosting service - on a shared server, for example, files could be transferred or deleted, databases can be imported and exported, and archives could be set up 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 more. These things aren't possible on a shared server, for the reason that full root access is needed and all the other clients on that server shall be affected. While SSH is used mainly with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs too - Windows, Mac OS, and so forth.
