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

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

You will have full root-level access to your dedicated server regardless of what package you select throughout the registration process, as long as the server is ordered with cPanel or DirectAdmin, or with no hosting Control Panel at all. In each of these three cases, you are able to modify any part of the software environment in any way you find fit, which makes our server packages perfect for resource-demanding applications with specific requirements which can't be covered when you use a shared web hosting account. The difference between these options is the fact that with cPanel or DirectAdmin, you'll have a web-based graphical interface to take care of various server-side options as well as any web content that you create or upload, while if you order the server devoid of Control Panel, you will 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 Operating System which you have selected during the registration process. With the final Control Panel option which you can choose on our order page - Hepsia, the root access is restricted.
