Having root-level access to your server signifies that you'll be able to view and modify any file on it, which includes important system files. You can also set up software that can update particular settings on your server during the process, so the installation can be performed only if you are logged in as the root user. The aforementioned has full privileges, which means that you will have full control over the machine at any time and you can perform anything you would like. You may also create various other users either with the same rights or with fewer rights, based on what you need them for - daily tasks, other server administrators, etcetera. To be on the safe side, it's usually recommended to use the root account only when you really need it and not for tasks which can be done using other accounts. You may use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console to connect to the server and to manage it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers Hosting

In case you choose the cPanel hosting Control Panel, you'll have full root access to your new dedicated server, regardless of which of our plans you'll select during the registration process. The very same is valid when you decide not to use a Control Panel at all. All our servers give you the opportunity to run both really resource-demanding applications that are too heavy for a shared hosting account and apps which have particular requirements as to what the program environment on your server should be. The latter is something which can't be achieved on a shared machine, as no server-side software can be set up on it. The difference between the aforementioned alternatives is that without a Control Panel, server management can be done only through a console, whereas if you obtain cPanel, the majority of system settings as well as your web content can be managed via a graphical interface. If you pick Hepsia, that is the last Control Panel option on the order page, you'll receive a server with limited root access.
