SSH (also known as Secure Shell) is a remote admin protocol that allows users to control and modify the server settings over the internet.
SSH access will allow users to execute shell commands through terminal windows or SSH clients such as Putty.
For shared hosting servers, SSH access is disabled as it may cause harm to the server.
SSH, like other login pages, is prone to brute force attacks. If the user sets poor password for his account, hackers may easily access the SSH and exploit the server by injecting and executing malicious codes through his account.
