SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol used to transfer protected data between a client and a hosting server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any info. Many tech-savvy customers choose SSH mainly because of the better level of security. The connection is created and the commands are delivered via a command line. The available options depend on the type of hosting service - on a shared server, for example, files could be moved or deleted, databases can be imported and exported, and archives can be set up or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, the options are considerably more - the web server and the database server can be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software may be set up and more. These things are not possible on a shared server, due to the fact that full root access is needed and all the other clients on that server would be affected. Though SSH is used mainly with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so forth.
