SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol employed to transfer encoded data between a client and a web server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any information. Many tech-savvy clients opt for SSH due to the better security level. The connection is established and the commands are delivered through a command line. The offered options depend on the type of Internet hosting service - on a shared server, for example, files may be transferred or deleted, databases can be imported and exported, and archives can be set up or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, the choices are considerably more - the web server and the database server may be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software may be set up and a lot more. These things aren't possible on a shared server, because full root access is needed and all the other customers on that server shall be affected. Although SSH is employed largely with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so on.
