SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol which is used to connect to a web server and carry out different tasks via a command line. The protocol is preferred by many knowledgeable users, for the reason that the data transmitted over it is encrypted, so it cannot be intercepted on the way by a third party. SSH access could be used for lots of things based on the type of hosting account. With a shared hosting account, in particular, SSH is among the ways to import/export a database or to upload a file if the hosting server allows it. When you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH can be used for practically everything - you may install software or restart specific services including the web server or the database server which run on the machine. SSH is used mainly with UNIX-like Platforms, but there are clients which enable you to use the protocol if your computer is using a different OS too. The connection is created on TCP port 22 by default and the remote hosting server always listens for incoming connections on that port although lots of providers change it for security reasons.
