SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol used to transfer encrypted data between a client and a web server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any data. Many tech-savvy clients opt for SSH because of the enhanced security level. The connection is established and the commands are delivered using a command line. The offered options depend on the type of web hosting service - on a shared server, for example, files may be relocated or deleted, databases could be imported and exported, and archives could be set up or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, the options are significantly more - the web server and the database server can be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software can be set up and a lot 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 shall be affected. Although SSH is employed predominantly with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so on.
