Secure Shell, also known as SSH, is a cryptographic network protocol used to execute commands on a remote hosting server or to exchange info between a website hosting server and a client. As the info exchanged by the 2 sides is encoded, a third party simply cannot intercept it, which makes SSH a preferred means of managing a hosting account. The commands which can be executed depend on the type of hosting service. On a shared server, for instance, the options are limited since you simply won't have root access to the website hosting server, so you can simply create/move/delete files, create and unpack archives, export and import databases, etc. These are all actions that are performed in the shared hosting account and do not need 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 hosting server or only a particular service (web server, database server, etc.). SSH commands are submitted via a command line, and if you do not use a UNIX-like Operating System, there are a number of apps for other OSs, you can employ to connect to the remote server as well.
