SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol that's 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 favor SSH because of the higher level of security. The connection is created and the commands are sent via a command line. The offered options depend on the type of hosting service - on a shared server, for instance, files may be moved or deleted, databases could be imported and exported, and archives may be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, the choices are considerably more - the web server and the database server may be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software may be installed plus much more. These things aren't possible on a shared server, since full root access is required and all the other customers on that server will be affected. Though SSH is used largely with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, etc.
