SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol which is used to transfer protected information between a client and a hosting server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any data. Many tech-savvy users choose SSH mainly because of the higher level of security. The connection is established and the commands are sent through a command line. The available options depend on the type of web hosting service - on a shared server, for instance, files can be relocated or deleted, databases could be imported and exported, and archives can be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, the choices are considerably more - the web server and the database server may be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software could be installed and much more. These things are not possible on a shared server, due to the fact that full root access is needed and all the other clients on that server shall be affected. Though SSH is used primarily with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs too - Windows, Mac OS, etc.

When you obtain a new virtual private server from us, it'll feature full root access and you will be able to connect to the server and to manage everything using an SSH console.
