SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol that's used to transfer encrypted information between a client and a server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any info. Many tech-savvy clients choose SSH because of the better level of security. The connection is made and the commands are delivered through a command line. The available options depend on the type of hosting service - on a shared server, for example, files can be transferred or deleted, databases can be imported and exported, and archives could be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, the choices are considerably more - the web server and the database server can be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software can be set up and a lot more. These things aren't possible on a shared server, because full root access is needed and all the other clients on that server shall be affected. Though SSH is employed mainly with UNIX-like OSs, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so forth.
