When you have root-level access to a hosting server, it means that you will 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 setting on your server, and you can both access and change any kind of 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 do the aforementioned things and also to make other users, including users who also have full privileges. The connection can be established with a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For security reasons, it's recommended that you create one more user for your daily work and employ the root user only when you need to customize the server or to set up software which may be required by some script-driven app that you wish to run.
Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers Hosting
When you get one of the Linux dedicated servers hosting packages which we provide, you'll have full root-level access and you can do anything that you cannot do using a shared website hosting account - to modify the server-side PHP settings, to set up frameworks or media streaming software, and the like. You may order the server with no website hosting Control Panel and do everything through a console, unless you install some third-party tool, or you can order it with cPanel or DirectAdmin and use a web-based graphical interface to take care of your Internet sites and many system settings. In all three cases, you will have full control of the machine. The huge amount of resources which you will get makes our dedicated plans a great choice for any type of content that you want to have. The servers which are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are simpler to control, still the root access to such a server will be limited.
