SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol used to exchange encrypted information between a client and a website hosting server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any info. Many tech-savvy users prefer SSH because of the higher security level. The connection is established and the commands are delivered via a command line. The accessible options depend on the type of Internet hosting service - on a shared server, for example, files may be moved or deleted, databases could be imported and exported, and archives could be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your options are much more - the web server and the database server may be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software can be installed and more. These things aren't possible on a shared server, since full root access is needed and all the other clients on that server will be affected. While SSH is employed mainly with UNIX-like OSs, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, etc.
