If you have root-level access to a hosting server, it means that you will have full control over it. That is to say, you'll be able install any server-side application irrespective of the changes that it will make to the software environment on your server, and you're able to both access and update any file, which includes system files, and change various settings. You can do this by connecting to the server as a root user which has full privileges to do all these things as well as to generate 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 create a separate user for your daily work and use the root user only when you have to customize the server or to install software which may be required by some script-driven app that you want to run.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

Each and every dedicated server that we offer features full root-level access, if the server is ordered with no Control Panel, or with cPanel. If you want to set up and run heavy, resource-demanding apps and they have specific requirements regarding the server software environment that can't be fulfilled by a conventional shared website hosting package, our servers are the optimal solution. Without Control Panel at hand, you are able to access the server and customize its settings and the content which you upload with a console, while with cPanel you'll have a graphical interface to manage everything related to your web content, and also most server-side settings. As expected, when you get a dedicated server without a Control Panel, you can always install a third-party tool manually, as long as it is compatible with the Operating System that you've selected at signup. When you choose the Hepsia Control Panel on your order page, you will have restricted root access, yet you'll still be able to perform a number of things through a Secure Shell console.
