SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol employed to exchange encrypted data between a client and a web server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any data. Many tech-savvy customers choose SSH due to the improved level of security. The connection is made and the commands are sent using a command line. The available options depend on the type of Internet hosting service - on a shared server, in particular, files may be moved or deleted, databases may be imported and exported, and archives could be set up or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, the options are a lot 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, since full root access is needed and all the other customers on that server would be affected. While SSH is used largely with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so on.
