SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol that's used to transfer encrypted data between a client and a hosting server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any data. Many tech-savvy clients prefer SSH mainly because of the higher level of security. The connection is created and the commands are sent using a command line. The available options depend on the type of hosting service - on a shared server, in particular, files can be transferred 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 significantly more - the web server and the database server can be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software could be installed and more. These things are not possible on a shared server, for the reason that full root access is needed and all the other clients on that server shall be affected. Though SSH is used primarily with UNIX-like OSs, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, etc.
