Secure Shell, better known as SSH, is a cryptographic network protocol that is used to execute commands on a remote web server or to exchange information between a hosting server and a client. Given that the data exchanged by the 2 sides is protected, a third party simply cannot intercept it, which makes SSH a favored means of managing a web hosting account. The commands that could be executed depend on the type of hosting service. On a shared hosting server, for instance, the possibilities are limited since you won't have root access to the web server, so you could only create/move/delete files, create and unpack archives, import and export databases, and so forth. They are all actions which are executed inside the shared hosting account and do not require a higher level of access. Using a virtual or a dedicated server, you shall be able to install server-side software or to restart the web server or only a certain 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 lot of apps for other OSs, that you can employ to connect to the remote server as well.
