SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol employed to transfer encoded data between a client and a server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any information. Many tech-savvy clients opt for SSH due to the enhanced level of security. The connection is created and the commands are delivered via a command line. The available options depend on the type of Internet hosting service - on a shared server, for example, files could be relocated or deleted, databases could be imported and exported, and archives may be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, the choices are a lot more - the web server and the database server can be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software may be installed plus much more. These things aren't possible on a shared server, for the reason that full root access is needed and all the other customers on that server shall be affected. Although SSH is used mainly with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, etc.

Inside the SSH section of the CP, you shall see the host, the port number and the username which you should use when you connect to the account. You could also choose what password you would like to use, since it doesn't need to be the same as the one for the account. We've prepared several Help articles where you can easily find each of the commands that you will be able to use with a shared hosting plan, as well as examples of how they are used. Moreover, if SSH access is allowed for your account, you will be able to establish a Secure FTP (SFTP) connection by using a standard client like FileZilla, for instance.
