SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol that's used to connect to a web server and carry out different tasks via a command line. The protocol is employed by many experienced users, because the data transmitted over it is encrypted, so it can't be intercepted on the way by a third party. SSH access can be employed for a variety of things based on the type of web hosting account. With a shared hosting account, for instance, SSH is among the ways to import/export a database or to upload a file if the website hosting server allows it. In case you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH could be used for virtually anything - you may install software or restart specific services like the web server or the database server which run on the machine. SSH is used largely with UNIX-like Systems, but there are clients which allow you to employ the protocol if your computer system is using a different Operating System too. The connection is established on TCP port 22 by default and the remote web server always listens for incoming connections on that port although lots of service providers change it for security reasons.

Your website hosting server will be set up right after you purchase it and the instant you get the Welcome e-mail with the login information, you may connect using the server’s main IP address and start working. Given that the VPS is a software emulation of a dedicated server and is isolated from the other accounts inside the physical machine, there'll be no restrictions in terms of the commands which you can use. You will have full root access, so you can install and run any application that can work on a Linux web server, manage files, folders and databases or start/stop/reboot your entire machine or any software running on it.
