Secure Shell, commonly known as SSH, is a cryptographic network protocol used to execute commands on a remote web server or to exchange data between a web server and a client. Since the data exchanged by the two sides is protected, a third party won't be able to intercept it, which makes SSH an ideal means of managing an Internet hosting account. The commands which can be executed are determined by the type of hosting service. On a shared web server, for example, the alternatives are limited as you will not have root access to the machine, so you could simply create/move/delete files, set up and unpack archives, export and import databases, and so on. They're all actions which are performed within the shared hosting account and do not need 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 hosting server or just 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 apps for other OSs, which you can use to connect to the remote server as well.
