When you have root-level access to a server, it means that you'll have full control of it. In other words, you'll be able install any server-side app irrespective of the changes that it'll make to the software setting on the server, and you are able to both access and change any file, which includes system files, and modify any settings. This can be done by connecting to the server as a root user who has full privileges to do all these things as well as to generate other users, including users that also have full privileges. This connection can be established using a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For safety reasons, it's recommended that you create one more user for your everyday work and use the root user only when you need to customize the server or to set up software that may be needed by a script-driven app that you would like to run.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

If you get one of the dedicated web hosting plans that we provide, you will have full root-level access and you'll be able to do anything that you can't do with 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 without website hosting Control Panel and do everything from a console, unless you install some third-party instrument, or you can order it with cPanel and use a web-based graphical interface to take care of your Internet sites and many system settings. In all 3 cases, you will have full control of your machine. The considerable amount of system resources that you will receive makes our dedicated plans the best choice for any type of content that you wish to have. The servers that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are simpler to maintain, yet the root access to such a machine will be limited.
