Secure Shell, commonly 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. Because the data exchanged by the 2 sides is protected, a third party cannot intercept it, which makes SSH a favored means of managing a hosting account. The commands which can be executed are determined by the type of hosting service. On a shared server, in particular, the alternatives are limited since you shall not have root access to the hosting server, so you can only create/move/delete files, set up and unpack archives, import and export databases, and so forth. These are all actions that are performed in the shared hosting account and don't require a higher level of access. Through a virtual or a dedicated server, you will have the option to install server-side software or to restart the web server or only a particular service (web server, database server, etc.). SSH commands are submitted with a command line, but if you don't employ a UNIX-like Operating System, there are plenty of applications for other OSs, which you can employ to connect to the remote hosting server as well.
