SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol that's used to exchange encoded data between a client and a website hosting server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any data. Many tech-savvy clients prefer SSH mainly because of the higher level of security. The connection is established and the commands are sent using a command line. The accessible options depend on the type of web hosting service - on a shared server, for example, files could be moved or deleted, databases may be imported and exported, and archives may be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your choices are a lot more - the web server and the database server can be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software may be installed and a lot more. These things aren't possible on a shared server, since full root access is required and all the other customers on that server would be affected. While SSH is used mainly with UNIX-like OSs, there are SSH clients for other OSs too - Windows, Mac OS, etc.
