Secure Shell, commonly known as SSH, is a cryptographic network protocol that is used to execute commands on a remote web server or to exchange data between a web server and a client. As the information exchanged by the 2 sides is encoded, a third party cannot intercept it, which makes SSH a favored means of controlling an Internet hosting account. The commands which may be executed depend on the type of hosting service. On a shared web server, for instance, the alternatives are limited since you shall not have root access to the hosting server, so you may simply create/move/delete files, create and unpack archives, export and import databases, and so forth. They are all actions which are executed inside the shared hosting account and don't require a higher level of access. With a virtual or a dedicated server, you will have the option to set up server-side software or to restart the hosting server or only a particular service (web server, database server, etc.). SSH commands are submitted via a command line, and if you don't employ a UNIX-like Operating System, there are a variety of apps for other OSs, that you can use to connect to the remote web server as well.
