SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol used to transfer encoded data between a client and a server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any info. Many tech-savvy customers favor SSH because of the improved level of security. The connection is made and the commands are sent through a command line. The accessible options depend on the type of Internet hosting service - on a shared server, for instance, files can be relocated or deleted, databases may be imported and exported, and archives may be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your options are much more - the web server and the database server may be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software may be set up plus much more. These things are not possible on a shared server, since full root access is required and all the other clients on that server will be affected. Though SSH is used primarily with UNIX-like OSs, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so on.
