Secure Shell, commonly known as SSH, is a cryptographic network protocol used to execute commands on a remote hosting server or to exchange information between a server and a client. Due to the fact that the info exchanged by the 2 sides is protected, a 3rd party can't intercept it, which makes SSH a favored means of controlling a website hosting account. The commands that can be executed depend on the type of hosting service. On a shared web server, in particular, the choices are limited since you will not have root access to the hosting server, so you could simply create/move/delete files, set up and unpack archives, export and import databases, etcetera. These are all actions which are executed within the shared hosting account and don't require a higher level of access. Through a virtual or a dedicated server, you will be able to install server-side software or to restart the machine or just a certain service (web server, database server, etc.). SSH commands are submitted via a command line, but if you don't employ a UNIX-like OS, there are a variety of applications for other OSs, you can use to connect to the remote server as well.
