Having root-level access to your server signifies that you will be able to view and update any file on it, including important system files. You can also set up software that can modify specific settings on your server during the process, so that the installation can be performed only if you are logged in as the root user. The aforementioned has full privileges, which means that you'll have full control over your machine whenever you want and you can perform anything you want. You can also generate other users either with identical rights or with fewer rights, based on what you want them for - day-to-day tasks, other server admins, etc. To be on the safe side, it is usually recommended to use the root account only when you actually need it and not for tasks you can do using other accounts. You may use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console to be able to connect to the server and to manage it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

When you choose the cPanel or the DirectAdmin hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access to your new dedicated server, regardless of which of our plans you'll select during the registration process. Exactly the same is valid if you decide not to get a Control Panel at all. All our servers will give you the possibility to run both really resource-demanding apps which are too heavy for a shared website hosting account and apps that have certain requirements as to what the program environment on the server has to be. The latter is something which cannot be achieved on a shared machine, due to the fact that no server-side software can be installed on it. The difference between the abovementioned alternatives is that without a Control Panel, server management can be done only via a console, whereas if you acquire cPanel or DirectAdmin, most of the system settings along with your web content can be controlled through a graphical interface. When you select Hepsia, which is the last Control Panel option on the registration page, you will receive a server with limited root access.
