Secure Shell, better known as SSH, is a cryptographic network protocol used to execute commands on a remote hosting server or to exchange information between a website hosting server and a client. Since the info exchanged by the 2 sides is encrypted, a 3rd party simply cannot intercept it, which makes SSH a favorite means of managing a web hosting account. The commands that could be executed are determined by the type of hosting service. On a shared hosting server, in particular, the possibilities are limited because you will not have root access to the server, so you may only create/move/delete files, set up and unpack archives, export and import databases, etc. They're all actions that are executed within the shared hosting account and do not require a higher level of access. Through a virtual or a dedicated server, you will have the ability to install server-side software or to restart the machine or only a specific service (web server, database server, etc.). SSH commands are submitted through a command line, but if you do not use a UNIX-like Operating System, there are plenty of applications for other OSs, which you can employ to connect to the remote hosting server as well.

The SSH password can be changed from the very same section at any time with a few clicks.
