SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol that is used to connect to a server and conduct different tasks using a command line. The protocol is used by many expert users, due to the fact that the data transmitted over it is encrypted, so it may not be intercepted on the way by a third party. SSH access can be employed for a variety of things depending on the type of Internet hosting account. With a shared hosting account, in particular, SSH is among the ways to import/export a database or to upload a file when the hosting server permits it. In case you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH can be used for pretty much anything - you could install software or restart specific services such as the web server or the database server which run on the machine. SSH is used mainly with UNIX-like Platforms, but there are clients which permit you to employ the protocol if your PC is running a different OS as well. The connection is created on TCP port 22 by default and the remote web server always listens for incoming connections on that port although lots of providers change it for security reasons.
