SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol that's used to connect to a web server and conduct various tasks using a command line. The protocol is employed by many experienced users, due to the fact that the information transmitted over it is encrypted, so it can't be intercepted on the way by a 3rd party. SSH access can be used for lots of things with regards to the type of hosting account. With a shared hosting account, for instance, SSH is among the ways to import/export a database or to upload a file when the website hosting server allows for it. When you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH can be used for pretty much everything - you can install software or restart particular services such as the web server or the database server that run on the machine. SSH is used primarily with UNIX-like Systems, but there are clients which allow you to employ the protocol if your computer is running a different OS as well. The connection is made on TCP port 22 by default and the remote web server always listens for incoming connections on that port although lots of providers change it for security reasons.
