SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol employed to connect to a web server and execute various tasks through a command line. The protocol is employed by many expert users, for the reason that the information transmitted over it is encrypted, so it cannot be intercepted on the way by a third party. SSH access may be employed for a variety of things with regards to the type of Internet hosting account. With a shared hosting account, in particular, SSH is one of the ways to import/export a database or to upload a file when the web 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 certain services like the web server or the database server which run on the machine. SSH is used typically with UNIX-like Platforms, but there are clients that permit you to employ the protocol if your computer system is running a different Operating System too. The connection is established on TCP port 22 by default and the remote server always listens for incoming connections on that port even though a lot of service providers change it for security reasons.
