Having root-level access to a server means that you will be able to view and change any file on it, including essential system files. You can also set up software which can modify certain settings on your server during the process, so the installation is possible only if you're logged in as the root user. The latter has full privileges, which means that you'll have full control over the machine at any time and you'll be able to do anything you want. You may also generate additional users either with the same rights or with fewer rights, based on what you need them for - day-to-day tasks, other server administrators, etcetera. To be on the safe side, it's generally recommended to use the root account only when you really need it and not for tasks that can be done via other accounts. You can use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console to be able to connect with the server and to manage it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Web Hosting

You will have full root-level access to your dedicated server regardless of what plan you pick during the signup process, as long as the server is provided with cPanel or DirectAdmin, or without web hosting Control Panel at all. In each of these three cases, you can update any part of the software environment in any way you see fit, that makes our server packages perfect for multi-media applications with specific requirements that cannot be covered when you use a shared web hosting account. The main difference between these options is the fact that using cPanel or DirectAdmin, you will have a web-based graphical interface to control numerous server-side options and any site content that you generate or upload, whereas if you order the server devoid of Control Panel, you'll have to do everything with a Secure Shell console or to set up a Control Panel of your liking, provided that it is compatible with the OS which you've chosen during the sign up process. With the last Control Panel option that you will be able to choose on our order page - Hepsia, the root access will be restricted.
