SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol which is used to connect to a server and conduct various tasks using a command line. The protocol is preferred by many skilled users, because the data transmitted over it is encrypted, so it cannot be intercepted on the way by a third party. SSH access may be employed for lots of things with regards to 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 web server allows for it. When you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH may be used for just about anything - you can install software or restart particular services including the web server or the database server which run on the machine. SSH is used mostly with UNIX-like Systems, but there are clients which permit you to use the protocol if your computer is using a different Operating System as well. The connection is made on TCP port 22 by default and the remote web server always listens for incoming connections on that port although a lot of providers change it for security reasons.
