SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol that is used to exchange encrypted data between a client and a server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any information. Many tech-savvy users choose SSH due to the enhanced level of security. The connection is established and the commands are sent through a command line. The offered options depend on the type of hosting service - on a shared server, in particular, files can be relocated or deleted, databases can 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 may be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software can be set up and more. These things are not possible on a shared server, because full root access is required and all the other customers on that server would be affected. While SSH is employed mainly with UNIX-like OSs, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so forth.
