SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol that's used to exchange encoded information between a client and a website hosting server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any information. Many tech-savvy customers prefer SSH due to the improved security level. The connection is made and the commands are delivered using a command line. The offered options depend on the type of Internet hosting service - on a shared server, in particular, files could be moved or deleted, databases can be imported and exported, and archives can be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your options are a lot more - the web server and the database server could be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software can be set up plus much more. These things are not possible on a shared server, for the reason that full root access is required and all the other customers on that server shall be affected. Though SSH is used predominantly with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs too - Windows, Mac OS, and so on.
