Secure Shell, better known as SSH, is a cryptographic network protocol that is used to execute commands on a remote web server or to exchange info between a web server and a client. Due to the fact that the data exchanged by the 2 sides is encrypted, a third party cannot intercept it, which makes SSH a preferred means of controlling a hosting account. The commands that may be executed are determined by the type of hosting service. On a shared web server, for instance, the alternatives are limited because you won't have root access to the hosting server, so you may only create/move/delete files, set up and unpack archives, import and export databases, and so forth. They are all actions that are performed inside the shared hosting account and do not need a higher level of access. Using a virtual or a dedicated server, you shall have the option to set up server-side software or to restart the machine or only a specific service (web server, database server, etc.). SSH commands are submitted through a command line, and if you don't employ a UNIX-like Operating System, there are a variety of applications for other OSs, you can use to connect to the remote hosting server as well.
