SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol employed to transfer encrypted info between a client and a server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any information. Many tech-savvy users choose SSH due to the enhanced level of security. The connection is made and the commands are sent through a command line. The available options depend on the type of web hosting service - on a shared server, in particular, files can be transferred 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 could be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software may be installed plus much more. These things aren't possible on a shared server, for the reason that full root access is needed and all the other clients on that server shall be affected. Although SSH is employed primarily with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs too - Windows, Mac OS, and so on.
