SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol employed to transfer encoded info between a client and a server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any data. Many tech-savvy customers prefer SSH because of the improved security level. The connection is created and the commands are delivered via a command line. The offered options depend on the type of Internet hosting service - on a shared server, for example, files may be transferred or deleted, databases may be imported and exported, and archives can be set up or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, the choices are a lot more - the web server and the database server could be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software may be set up plus much more. These things aren't 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 largely with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs too - Windows, Mac OS, and so forth.
