SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol that's used to exchange encrypted information between a client and a server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any information. Many tech-savvy users opt for SSH mainly because of the higher security level. The connection is established and the commands are sent via a command line. The accessible options depend on the type of web hosting service - on a shared server, for example, files could be relocated or deleted, databases can be imported and exported, and archives may be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your options are a lot more - the web server and the database server can be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software may be set up plus much more. These things aren't possible on a shared server, due to the fact that full root access is required and all the other customers on that server would be affected. Even though SSH is used largely with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, etc.
