When you have root-level access to a server, this means that you'll have full control of it. In other words, you'll be able install any server-side application no matter what the changes that it will make to the software environment on the server, and you're able to both access and update any file, including system files, and modify any settings. You can do this by connecting to the server as a root user who has full privileges to do the aforementioned things and to make other users, including users who also have full privileges. The connection can be established using a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For safety reasons, it is recommended that you create a different user for your daily work and use the root user only when you have to customize the server or to set up software that may be needed by a script-driven application that you'd like 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 are unable to do with a shared web hosting account - to modify the server-side PHP settings, to install frameworks or media streaming software, etcetera. You can order the server without hosting Control Panel and do everything through 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 take care of your web sites and many system settings. In all 3 cases, you will have full control over the machine. The considerable amount of resources that you'll have makes our dedicated plans a great choice for any kind of content that you'd like to have. The servers which are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are much easier to control, but the root access to such a machine is restricted.
