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