SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol used to exchange encrypted information between a client and a hosting server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any info. Many tech-savvy users favor SSH mainly because of the improved level of security. The connection is made and the commands are delivered using a command line. The available options depend on the type of Internet hosting service - on a shared server, for example, files could be moved or deleted, databases may be imported and exported, and archives can be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your choices are much more - the web server and the database server may be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software can be set up and much more. These things aren't possible on a shared server, because full root access is required and all the other clients on that server will be affected. Although SSH is employed primarily with UNIX-like OSs, there are SSH clients for other OSs too - Windows, Mac OS, and so forth.
