When you have root-level access to a server, this means that you will have full control over it. That is to say, you can set up any server-side app irrespective of the changes that it will make to the software setting on your server, and you are able to both access and change any file, including system files, and modify various settings. You can do this by connecting to the server as a root user which has full privileges to do all these things and to generate 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 make a different user for your everyday work and employ the root user only when you have to customize the server or to install software which may be needed by some script-driven application that you want to run.
Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers
When you get one of the dedicated servers that we offer, you'll have full root-level access and you can do anything that you can't do using a shared website hosting account - to change the server-side PHP settings, to set up frameworks or media streaming software, etc. You will be able to order the server with no website hosting Control Panel and do everything from a console, unless you install some third-party tool, or you can order it with cPanel and use a web-based graphical interface to manage your websites and many system settings. In all 3 cases, you'll have full control over your server. The tremendous amount of resources which you'll receive makes our dedicated packages an excellent choice for any kind of content that you wish to have. The servers that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are simpler to manage, yet the root access to such a server will be restricted.
