SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol that's used to exchange encoded info between a client and a hosting server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any data. Many tech-savvy clients choose SSH mainly because of the better security level. The connection is established and the commands are delivered through a command line. The available options depend on the type of Internet hosting service - on a shared server, in particular, files could be relocated or deleted, databases may 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 can be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software can be installed and a lot more. These things are not possible on a shared server, because full root access is needed and all the other customers on that server will be affected. Although SSH is employed mainly with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs too - Windows, Mac OS, and so forth.

The moment your new server is ready, you'll be able to connect and begin working on your content through the login details you have entered through the order procedure.

You can download, set up and manage any piece of software which will run on a Linux web server, reboot the entire server or just a certain software component, and work with files, folders and databases without restrictions. All you will need for this is a console or an SSH client on your end.
