If you have root-level access to a hosting server, it means that you will have full control of it. In other words, you'll be able set up any server-side application whatever the changes that it'll make to the software setting on your server, and you can both access and customize any file, which includes system files, and modify various settings. You can do this by connecting to the server as a root user that has full privileges to do the aforementioned things and to generate other users, which includes users who also have full privileges. This connection can be established through a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For security reasons, it is recommended that you make a separate user for your everyday work and employ the root user only when you need to customize the server or to install software that may be required by a script-driven app that you would like to run.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Hosting

Each dedicated server that we provide comes with full root-level access, if the server is ordered without a Control Panel, or with cPanel or DirectAdmin. If you want to set up and run heavy, resource-demanding applications and they have special requirements about the server software environment that can't be fulfilled by a standard shared hosting package, our servers are the right solution. Without Control Panel at hand, you will be able to access the server and modify its settings as well as the content that you upload with a console, whereas with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you will use a graphical interface to take care of everything related to your web content, and the majority of server-side settings. As expected, when you get a dedicated server with no Control Panel, you may always install some third-party tool manually, as long as it is compatible with the Operating System that you've selected at registration. When you select the Hepsia Control Panel on your order page, you will have restricted root access, but you will still be able to do a number of things through a Secure Shell console.
