Secure Shell, commonly known as SSH, is a cryptographic network protocol employed to execute commands on a remote machine or to exchange information between a web server and a client. Due to the fact that the data exchanged by the two sides is encrypted, a 3rd party simply cannot intercept it, which makes SSH a favored means of handling 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 won't have root access to the web server, so you can just create/move/delete files, set up and unpack archives, import and export databases, etcetera. These are all actions that are carried out in the shared hosting account and don't 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 with a command line, and if you do not use a UNIX-like OS, there are plenty of apps for other OSs, that you can employ to connect to the remote web server as well.
