Given that I do not have root access if I purchase a shared server through a web-host, what can I realistically expect to do on a shared server? [on hold]

_x000D_ If you want more control I would recommend using a cloud server. Amazon, Google, Hetzner etc. have some pretty cheap cloud services where you get full control over what you install. A shared server is more for making basic websites, with cms's like WordPress and Drupal. Buying a dedicated server is expensive if you are not building something with a hugh amount of traffic.
