SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol which is used to transfer protected information between a client and a server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any information. Many tech-savvy users prefer SSH mainly because of the higher security level. The connection is made and the commands are sent via a command line. The accessible options depend on the type of web hosting service - on a shared server, in particular, files can be relocated or deleted, databases could be imported and exported, and archives can be set up or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, the choices are significantly 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 aren't possible on a shared server, because full root access is required and all the other customers on that server shall be affected. Even though SSH is employed mainly with UNIX-like OSs, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so on.
