Secure Shell, commonly known as SSH, is a cryptographic network protocol employed to execute commands on a remote server or to exchange information between a hosting server and a client. Due to the fact that the data exchanged by the 2 sides is protected, a 3rd party simply cannot intercept it, which makes SSH an ideal means of controlling a web hosting account. The commands that could be executed depend on the type of hosting service. On a shared hosting server, in particular, the choices are limited because you won't have root access to the hosting server, so you could only create/move/delete files, set up and unpack archives, export and import databases, etc. They are all actions that are carried out in the shared hosting account and do not need a higher level of access. By using a virtual or a dedicated server, you'll have the option to install server-side software or to restart the web server or just a specific service (web server, database server, etc.). SSH commands are submitted through a command line, and if you do not use a UNIX-like OS, there are a variety of applications for other OSs, you can employ to connect to the remote web server as well.
