SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol that is used to exchange encoded data between a client and a website hosting server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any info. Many tech-savvy clients opt for SSH due to the better level of security. The connection is created and the commands are sent using a command line. The available options depend on the type of Internet hosting service - on a shared server, for example, files can be transferred or deleted, databases could be imported and exported, and archives can be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, the options are a lot more - the web server and the database server can be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software could be set up and a lot more. These things aren't possible on a shared server, for the reason that full root access is required and all the other customers on that server will be affected. Though SSH is employed predominantly with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so forth.

Because the VPS is a software emulation of a dedicated server and is isolated from the other accounts within the physical machine, there won't be any restrictions regarding the commands you can use. You shall have full root access, so that you may install and run any app that can work on a Linux machine, manage files, folders and databases or start/stop/reboot the whole machine or any software operating on it.
