SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol that's used to connect to a web server and conduct various tasks via a command line. The protocol is popular with many expert users, since the info transmitted over it is encrypted, so it may not be intercepted on the way by a 3rd party. SSH access could be used for lots of things with regards to the type of Internet hosting account. With a shared hosting account, for instance, SSH is among the ways to import/export a database or to upload a file in case the hosting server permits it. When you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH could be used for virtually everything - you may install software or restart specific services such as the web server or the database server that run on the machine. SSH is used mostly with UNIX-like Platforms, but there are clients which enable you to employ the protocol if your computer system is using a different Operating System too. The connection is made on TCP port 22 by default and the remote server always listens for incoming connections on that port although many service providers change it for security reasons.
