If you have root-level access to a server, this means that you'll have full control of it. That is to say, you'll be able install any server-side app no matter what the changes that it'll make to the software environment on the server, and you will be able to both access and customize any kind of file, including system files, and modify any settings. This can be done by connecting to the server as a root user that has full privileges to perform all these things and to generate other users, including users that also have full privileges. The connection can be established through a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For safety reasons, it's recommended that you create a separate user for your everyday work and use the root user only when you need to customize the server or to set up 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 web hosting plans which we supply, you will have full root-level access and you'll be able to do anything that you cannot do with a shared web hosting account - to change the server-side PHP settings, to set up frameworks or media streaming software, and the like. You may order the server without any website hosting Control Panel and do everything from a console, unless you set up a 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 3 cases, you will have complete control over your server. The significant amount of resources that you will get makes our dedicated plans a fantastic choice for any kind of content that you wish to have. The servers that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are much easier to control, yet the root access to such a machine will be limited.
