SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol that's used to exchange protected info between a client and a web server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any data. Many tech-savvy customers favor SSH due to the improved level of security. The connection is created and the commands are delivered through a command line. The available options depend on the type of web hosting service - on a shared server, for instance, files may be relocated or deleted, databases can be imported and exported, and archives can be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, the choices are significantly more - the web server and the database server can be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software could be installed and more. These things are not 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 mainly with UNIX-like OSs, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so on.
