When you have root-level access to a hosting server, this means that you'll have full control over it. In other words, you can install any server-side application regardless 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 various settings. This can be done by connecting to the server as a root user that has full privileges to perform the aforementioned things and to generate other users, which includes users who also have full privileges. This particular can be established using a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For safety reasons, it is recommended that you make a different user for your everyday work and use the root user only when you have to customize the server or to install software which may be needed by a script-driven app that you wish to run.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

When you get one of the dedicated servers which we supply, you'll have full root-level access and you'll be able to do anything that you can't do with a shared web hosting account - to modify the server-side PHP settings, to install frameworks or media streaming software, and many others. You will be able to order the server with no hosting Control Panel and do everything using a console, unless you install a third-party tool, or you can order it with cPanel or DirectAdmin and use a web-based graphical interface to manage your sites and many system settings. In all 3 cases, you'll have full control of the machine. The significant amount of system resources which you'll receive makes our dedicated packages an excellent choice for any kind of content that you wish to have. The servers which are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are much easier to control, yet the root access to such a machine is limited.
