Secure Shell, also known as SSH, is a cryptographic network protocol that is used to execute commands on a remote machine or to exchange information between a hosting server and a client. Due to the fact that the info exchanged by the two sides is encrypted, a 3rd party cannot intercept it, which makes SSH a preferred means of handling a website hosting account. The commands that may be executed are determined by the type of hosting service. On a shared server, in particular, the choices are limited because you shall not have root access to the web server, so you may simply create/move/delete files, set up and unpack archives, import and export databases, etc. These are all actions which are performed within the shared hosting account and do not require a higher level of access. Through a virtual or a dedicated server, you shall be able to set up server-side software or to restart the server or only a specific service (web server, database server, etc.). SSH commands are submitted via a command line, and if you do not use a UNIX-like Operating System, there are a lot of apps for other OSs, you can employ to connect to the remote hosting server as well.
