When you have root-level access to a hosting server, this means that you'll have full control of it. That is to say, you'll be able install 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 modify any file, including system files, and change various settings. This can be done by connecting to the server as a root user which has full privileges to perform the aforementioned things as well as to create other users, including users that also have full privileges. This particular can be established with a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For safety reasons, it's recommended that you make a separate user for your daily work and use the root user only when you need to customize the server or to install software which may be needed by a script-driven app that you would like to run.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

When you get one of the dedicated servers that we provide, you will have full root-level access and you will be able to do anything that you cannot do using a shared website hosting account - to customize the server-side PHP settings, to install frameworks or media streaming software, and the like. You may order the server with no website hosting Control Panel and do everything through 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 take care of your websites and many system settings. In all three cases, you will have complete control of your server. The considerable amount of resources that you will receive makes our dedicated plans a great choice for any type of content that you would like to have. The servers that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are much easier to control, still the root access to such a server will be restricted.
