When you have root-level access to a hosting server, this means that you will have full control of it. That is to say, you'll be able install any server-side app no matter what the changes that it will make to the software setting on your server, and you'll be able to both access and customize any kind of file, including system files, and change various settings. This can be done by connecting to the server as a root user who has full privileges to do all these things as well as to create other users, which includes 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 is recommended that you make one more user for your everyday work and employ the root user only when you have to customize the server or to set up software that may be needed by some script-driven app that you wish to run.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

If you get one of the dedicated web hosting plans that we provide, you'll have full root-level access and you will be able to do anything that you cannot do with a shared hosting account - to customize the server-side PHP settings, to set up frameworks or media streaming software, and the like. You can order the server without any website hosting Control Panel and do everything with a console, unless you install some third-party tool, or you can order it with cPanel and use a web-based graphical interface to take care of your sites and many system settings. In all 3 cases, you will have full control over your machine. The considerable amount of system resources that you'll receive makes our dedicated packages a fantastic 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, but the root access to such a server will be restricted.
