SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol employed to exchange encoded data between a client and a hosting server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any information. Many tech-savvy users choose SSH due to the higher level of security. The connection is established and the commands are delivered via a command line. The accessible options depend on the type of web hosting service - on a shared server, for example, files may be relocated or deleted, databases may be imported and exported, and archives may be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your options are significantly more - the web server and the database server may be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software may be installed and more. These things aren't possible on a shared server, due to the fact that full root access is required and all the other clients on that server would be affected. Although SSH is used predominantly with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs too - Windows, Mac OS, etc.

You can also pick what password you want to use, as it doesn't need to be the same as the one for the account. We have prepared numerous Help articles where you can easily find all of the commands that you will be able to use with a shared hosting package, along with examples of how they're used.

Because the VPS is a software emulation of a dedicated server and is isolated from the other accounts on the physical machine, there'll be no restrictions in terms of the commands which you can use. You'll have full root access, so that you could set up and run any application which can work on a Linux hosting server, manage files, folders and databases or start/stop/reboot the entire machine or any software running on it.
