SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol used to transfer encrypted data between a client and a server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any information. Many tech-savvy clients opt for SSH due to the improved level of security. The connection is made and the commands are sent via a command line. The available options depend on the type of Internet hosting service - on a shared server, for example, files can be relocated or deleted, databases could be imported and exported, and archives can 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 can be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software may be set up plus much more. These things are not possible on a shared server, because full root access is required and all the other customers on that server will be affected. Although SSH is used largely with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs too - Windows, Mac OS, and so on.
