If you have root-level access to a server, it means that you'll have full control of it. In other words, you can install any server-side application whatever the changes that it'll make to the software setting on the server, and you are 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 which has full privileges to perform the aforementioned things and to create other users, including users that also have full privileges. This particular can be established with a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For security reasons, it is recommended that you create a different user for your everyday work and employ the root user only when you have to modify the server or to set up software that may be needed by a script-driven app that you wish to run.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers Hosting

If you get one of the Linux dedicated servers hosting that we offer, you will have full root-level access and you can do anything that you can't do with a shared website hosting account - to customize the server-side PHP settings, to install frameworks or media streaming software, etc. You'll be able to order the server without hosting Control Panel and do everything with 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 web sites and many system settings. In all three cases, you'll have complete control over your server. The considerable amount of resources which you'll get makes our dedicated plans the best choice for any type of content that you wish to have. The servers that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are much easier to maintain, however the root access to such a machine is limited.
