SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol which is used to exchange encrypted info between a client and a hosting server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any data. Many tech-savvy users opt for SSH due to the better level of security. The connection is established and the commands are sent using a command line. The accessible options depend on the type of web hosting service - on a shared server, for instance, files could be transferred or deleted, databases can be imported and exported, and archives may be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your options are a lot more - the web server and the database server could be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software can be set up and more. These things are not possible on a shared server, because full root access is needed and all the other clients on that server would be affected. While SSH is employed largely with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so on.
