SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol which is used to exchange protected information between a client and a website hosting server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any data. Many tech-savvy users favor SSH due to the higher security level. The connection is created 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 could be transferred or deleted, databases could be imported and exported, and archives can be set up or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, the options are considerably more - the web server and the database server could be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software may be set up and much more. These things aren't possible on a shared server, for the reason that full root access is needed and all the other customers on that server shall be affected. Even though SSH is employed largely with UNIX-like OSs, there are SSH clients for other OSs too - Windows, Mac OS, and so forth.

The moment your new server is prepared, you will be able to connect and begin working on your content using the login details that you've entered throughout the order process. A copy of the SSH credentials will be sent to you via e-mail too. Because your VPS will be isolated from the others on the physical server, there are no limitations as to what you can or cannot do via SSH. You could download, install and manage any piece of software that'll run on a Linux machine, reboot the entire server or simply a specific software component, and work with files, folders and databases without restrictions. All you'll require for that is a console or an SSH client on your end.
