Secure Shell, commonly known as SSH, is a cryptographic network protocol that is used to execute commands on a remote server or to exchange data between a server and a client. Due to the fact that the info exchanged by the two sides is protected, a third party cannot intercept it, which makes SSH a preferred means of managing a hosting account. The commands which may be executed are determined by the type of hosting service. On a shared web server, in particular, the choices are limited because you won't have root access to the machine, so you can simply create/move/delete files, create and unpack archives, import and export databases, etcetera. They are all actions which are carried out within the shared hosting account and do not need a higher level of access. Through a virtual or a dedicated server, you will be able to set up server-side software or to restart the web server or just 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 OS, there are a number of applications for other OSs, you can employ to connect to the remote hosting server as well.
