SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol which is used to exchange protected data between a client and a web server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any information. Many tech-savvy customers choose SSH due to the improved security level. The connection is created and the commands are delivered through a command line. The available options depend on the type of web hosting service - on a shared server, in particular, files may be transferred or deleted, databases can be imported and exported, and archives can be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, the options are significantly more - the web server and the database server can be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software may be set up and a lot more. These things are not possible on a shared server, for the reason that full root access is required and all the other clients on that server will be affected. Though SSH is employed predominantly with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, etc.
