If you have root-level access to a hosting server, it means that you'll have full control over it. In other words, you'll be able set up any server-side application irrespective of the changes that it'll make to the software environment on your server, and you can both access and change any kind of file, which includes system files, and change any settings. You can do this by connecting to the server as a root user which has full privileges to do all these things as well as to generate other users, which includes users that also have full privileges. This particular can be established through a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For safety reasons, it's recommended that you make another user for your everyday work and employ the root user only when you need to customize the server or to set up software which may be needed by some script-driven app that you wish to run.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

When you get one of the dedicated web hosting plans which we supply, you'll have full root-level access and you'll be able to do anything that you can't do using a shared website hosting account - to change the server-side PHP settings, to set up frameworks or media streaming software, etcetera. You will be able to order the server with no website hosting Control Panel and do everything using a console, unless you install some third-party tool, or you can order it with cPanel or DirectAdmin and use a web-based graphical interface to control your web sites and many system settings. In all 3 cases, you'll have complete control of the server. The huge amount of resources that you will receive makes our dedicated plans the perfect choice for any kind of content that you wish to have. The servers which are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are easier to take care of, but the root access to such a server is restricted.
