SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol which is used to transfer protected info between a client and a hosting server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any information. Many tech-savvy users favor SSH due to the enhanced security level. The connection is created and the commands are delivered through a command line. The accessible options depend on the type of Internet hosting service - on a shared server, in particular, files could be relocated or deleted, databases may be imported and exported, and archives may be set up or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your choices are a lot more - the web server and the database server may be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software can be set up and much more. These things aren't 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. Although SSH is employed primarily with UNIX-like OSs, there are SSH clients for other OSs too - Windows, Mac OS, and so forth.
