Secure Shell, also 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. As the data exchanged by the 2 sides is encoded, a 3rd party can't intercept it, which makes SSH a preferred means of controlling a website hosting account. The commands which could be executed are determined by the type of hosting service. On a shared server, for example, the options are limited because you won't have root access to the server, so you may just create/move/delete files, set up and unpack archives, export and import databases, and so forth. These are all actions that are carried out inside the shared hosting account and do not require a higher level of access. Using a virtual or a dedicated server, you will be able to install server-side software or to restart the machine 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 Operating System, there are plenty of applications for other OSs, that you can employ to connect to the remote hosting server as well.
