When you have root-level access to a hosting server, it indicates that you'll have full control over it. In other words, you'll be able set up any server-side app irrespective of the changes that it'll make to the software setting on your server, and you can both access and change any file, including system files, and change any settings. This can be done by connecting to the server as a root user which has full privileges to perform all these things as well as to create other users, which includes users who also have full privileges. This particular can be established with a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For security reasons, it's recommended that you make another user for your daily work and employ the root user only when you need 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 Web Hosting

If you get one of the Linux dedicated web hosting which we provide, you will have full root-level access and you can do anything that you are unable to do with a shared website hosting account - to update the server-side PHP settings, to set up frameworks or media streaming software, etcetera. You'll be able to order the server with no hosting Control Panel and do everything with 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 three cases, you'll have full control of the machine. The tremendous amount of resources which you will get makes our dedicated packages an excellent choice for any kind of content that you would like to have. The servers that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are easier to maintain, but the root access to such a server is limited.
