If you have root-level access to a hosting server, it indicates that you'll have full control over it. In other words, you can set up any server-side application irrespective of the changes that it will make to the software environment on your server, and you will be able to both access and update any file, including 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 also to create 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 security reasons, it is recommended that you create another user for your everyday work and use the root user only when you have to modify the server or to install software that may be required by some script-driven app that you'd like to run.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

If you get one of the dedicated servers which we offer, you'll have full root-level access and you will be able to do anything that you can't do using a shared hosting account - to update the server-side PHP settings, to install frameworks or media streaming software, etcetera. You will be able to order the server with no website hosting Control Panel and do everything through a console, unless you install a third-party tool, or you can order it with cPanel and use a web-based graphical interface to control your sites and many system settings. In all 3 cases, you will have complete control over your server. The huge amount of resources which you'll get makes our dedicated plans the perfect choice for any kind of content that you wish to have. The servers that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are easier to take care of, still the root access to such a machine is limited.
