If you have root-level access to a server, it indicates that you'll have full control of it. In other words, you'll be able install any server-side application regardless of the changes that it'll make to the software environment on your server, and you're able to both access and change any file, which includes system files, and modify various settings. You can do this by connecting to the server as a root user who has full privileges to perform the aforementioned things and also to create other users, which includes users who also have full privileges. This particular can be established with a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For safety reasons, it is recommended that you create a different user for your everyday work and use the root user only when you need to modify the server or to install software which may be required by some script-driven application that you'd like to run.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

If you get one of the dedicated web hosting plans that we offer, you will have full root-level access and you can do anything that you can't do using a shared website hosting account - to change the server-side PHP settings, to install frameworks or media streaming software, etc. You can order the server without web hosting Control Panel and do everything using a console, unless you set up some third-party tool, or you can order it with cPanel or DirectAdmin and use a web-based graphical interface to control your websites and many system settings. In all three cases, you'll have complete control over the server. The tremendous amount of resources that you will get makes our dedicated packages a great choice for any kind of content that you'd like to have. The servers that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are much easier to manage, but the root access to such a machine is limited.
