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