Secure Shell, also known as SSH, is a cryptographic network protocol employed to execute commands on a remote server or to exchange data between a web server and a client. Since the info exchanged by the 2 sides is protected, a third party won't be able to intercept it, which makes SSH a favorite means of managing an Internet 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 as you shall not have root access to the web server, so you could simply create/move/delete files, set up and unpack archives, export and import databases, and so on. These are all actions that are performed inside the shared hosting account and do not require a higher level of access. Through a virtual or a dedicated server, you'll have the ability to install server-side software or to restart the server or just a certain service (web server, database server, etc.). SSH commands are submitted with a command line, but if you don't use a UNIX-like Operating System, there are a lot of applications for other OSs, you can employ to connect to the remote hosting server as well.
