SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol that is used to exchange encrypted data between a client and a hosting server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any info. Many tech-savvy users prefer SSH due to the better security level. The connection is made and the commands are sent using a command line. The accessible options depend on the type of Internet hosting service - on a shared server, in particular, files can 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 choices are a lot more - the web server and the database server can be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software could be set up plus much more. These things aren't possible on a shared server, because full root access is required and all the other customers on that server will be affected. Even though SSH is used mainly with UNIX-like OSs, there are SSH clients for other OSs too - Windows, Mac OS, and so forth.
