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