If you have root-level access to a hosting server, it indicates that you will have full control over it. That is to say, you'll be able install any server-side app regardless of the changes that it will make to the software setting on the server, and you will be able to both access and modify any file, which includes system files, and modify various settings. This can be done by connecting to the server as a root user that has full privileges to perform the aforementioned things as well as to make other users, including users that also have full privileges. The connection can be established using a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For safety 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 install software that may be needed by some script-driven app that you'd like to run.
Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Hosting
If you get one of the Linux dedicated hosting that we offer, you'll have full root-level access and you can do anything that you cannot do using a shared web hosting account - to change the server-side PHP settings, to set up frameworks or media streaming software, etcetera. You will be able to order the server without any website hosting Control Panel and do everything through a console, unless you set up a third-party instrument, 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 will have full control of the server. The tremendous amount of resources that you will get makes our dedicated packages the best choice for any kind of content that you want to have. The servers which are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are easier to maintain, still the root access to such a server will be restricted.
