When you have root-level access to a server, it means that you'll have full control over it. That is to say, you'll be able install any server-side app whatever the changes that it'll make to the software setting on the server, and you're able to both access and update any file, which includes system files, and change various settings. You can do this by connecting to the server as a root user who has full privileges to perform all these things as well as to make other users, which includes users who also have full privileges. This connection can be established with a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For safety reasons, it's recommended that you create a different user for your daily work and use the root user only when you need to customize the server or to set up software which may be required by a script-driven app that you wish to run.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

If you get one of the dedicated servers that we provide, you will have full root-level access and you can do anything that you cannot do using a shared web 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 any website hosting Control Panel and do everything from a console, unless you set up some third-party instrument, or you can order it with cPanel or DirectAdmin and use a web-based graphical interface to manage your web sites and many system settings. In all three cases, you'll have complete control of your machine. The significant amount of resources that you'll get makes our dedicated plans a great choice for any type of content that you would like to have. The servers which are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are easier to manage, still the root access to such a server is restricted.
