SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol employed to connect to a web server and carry out different tasks through a command line. The protocol is employed by many expert users, as 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 with regards to 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 in case the server allows it. In case you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH may be used for pretty much everything - you can install software or restart particular services including the web server or the database server that run on the machine. SSH is employed mainly with UNIX-like Platforms, but there are clients that permit you to employ the protocol if your personal computer is running a different Operating System as well. The connection is established on TCP port 22 by default and the remote server always listens for incoming connections on that port even though many providers change it for security reasons.
