When you have root-level access to a server, it means that you will have full control of it. In other words, you'll be able install any server-side application whatever the changes that it'll make to the software environment on your server, and you'll be able to both access and change any kind of file, including system files, and modify various settings. You can do this by connecting to the server as a root user who has full privileges to perform all these things and also to make other users, which includes users who also have full privileges. The connection can be established using a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For security reasons, it is recommended that you create a separate user for your daily work and use the root user only when you need to customize the server or to install software that may be required 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 offer, you'll have full root-level access and you'll be able to do anything that you can't do using a shared hosting account - to modify the server-side PHP settings, to set up frameworks or media streaming software, etcetera. You will be able to 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 three cases, you will have complete control of the server. The tremendous amount of system resources that you will get makes our dedicated plans a fantastic choice for any kind of content that you want to have. The servers that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are easier to take care of, however the root access to such a machine will be restricted.
