SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol employed to exchange protected data between a client and a hosting server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any data. Many tech-savvy customers choose SSH because of the enhanced level of security. The connection is created and the commands are delivered using a command line. The offered options depend on the type of hosting service - on a shared server, for example, files may be moved or deleted, databases could be imported and exported, and archives could be set up or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your options are significantly more - the web server and the database server could be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software may be set up and a lot more. These things are not possible on a shared server, because full root access is required and all the other clients on that server would be affected. Although SSH is used largely with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs too - Windows, Mac OS, and so on.
