Secure Shell, better known as SSH, is a cryptographic network protocol employed to execute commands on a remote hosting server or to exchange information between a website hosting server and a client. Given that the info exchanged by the 2 sides is protected, a 3rd party cannot intercept it, which makes SSH a preferred means of managing a hosting account. The commands that could be executed are determined by the type of hosting service. On a shared hosting server, for instance, the choices are limited since you simply won't have root access to the website hosting server, so you could just create/move/delete files, create and unpack archives, export and import databases, and so on. They're all actions that are performed in the shared hosting account and do not need a higher level of access. With a virtual or a dedicated server, you'll have the ability to install server-side software or to restart the web server or just a certain service (web server, database server, etc.). SSH commands are submitted with a command line, but if you don't employ a UNIX-like Operating System, there are a variety of apps for other OSs, that you can use to connect to the remote hosting server as well.
