SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol used to transfer encoded information between a client and a website hosting server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any info. Many tech-savvy customers favor SSH due to the better level of security. The connection is established and the commands are sent through a command line. The accessible options depend on the type of web hosting service - on a shared server, for instance, files can be moved or deleted, databases could be imported and exported, and archives could be set up or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, the options are significantly more - the web server and the database server may be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software may be installed and much more. These things aren't possible on a shared server, because full root access is required and all the other customers on that server will be affected. While SSH is used mainly with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so forth.
