If you have root-level access to a hosting server, it means that you will have full control over it. In other words, you can install any server-side application whatever the changes that it will make to the software setting on the server, and you're able to both access and modify 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 perform all these things as well as 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 daily work and use the root user only when you need to modify the server or to set up software that may be required by a script-driven application that you'd like to run.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Hosting

When you get one of the Linux dedicated hosting that we supply, you'll have full root-level access and you'll be able to do anything that you cannot do with a shared website hosting account - to modify the server-side PHP settings, to set up frameworks or media streaming software, and many others. You may order the server with no website hosting Control Panel and do everything with 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 control your websites and many system settings. In all 3 cases, you will have full control over the server. The huge amount of system resources which you'll have makes our dedicated plans 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 take care of, however the root access to such a machine will be restricted.
