Having root-level access to a server means that you will be able to view and change any file on it, which includes crucial system files. You may also install software that can update specific settings on the server during the process, so that the installation can be performed only if you're signed 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 will be able to perform anything you'd like. You can also create additional users either with similar rights or with fewer rights, depending on what you require them for - daily tasks, other server administrators, etcetera. To be on the safe side, it's usually recommended to employ the root account only when you really need it and not for tasks you can do 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 control it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

In case you select the cPanel or the DirectAdmin web hosting Control Panel, you'll have full root access to your new dedicated server, no matter which of our packages you'll select during the signup process. Exactly the same is valid when you choose not to get a Control Panel at all. All of our servers will provide you with the possibility to run both really resource-demanding apps which are too heavy for a regular shared web hosting account and apps which have certain requirements as to what the program environment on the server should be. The latter is something which can't be achieved on a shared machine, due to the fact that no server-side software can be set up on it. The difference between the abovementioned solutions is that without a Control Panel, server management can be done only from a console, while if you get cPanel or DirectAdmin, most system settings and your site content can be controlled via a graphical interface. When you select Hepsia, that is the last Control Panel option on the order page, you will have a server with restricted root access.
