SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol that's used to transfer encoded information between a client and a web server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any information. Many tech-savvy users choose SSH mainly because of the enhanced security level. The connection is established and the commands are sent through a command line. The available options depend on the type of hosting service - on a shared server, for instance, files could be moved or deleted, databases could be imported and exported, and archives may be set up or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your choices are much more - the web server and the database server may be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software can be set up and a lot more. These things are not possible on a shared server, since full root access is needed and all the other customers on that server would be affected. Even though SSH is employed mainly with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs too - Windows, Mac OS, and so on.

As your VPS will be isolated from the others on the physical hosting server, there aren't any limitations in regards to what you can or cannot do through SSH. You could download, install and manage any piece of software which will run on a Linux server, reboot the whole server or only a particular software component, and work with files, folders and databases without any restrictions. All you'll need for that is a console or an SSH client on your end.
