Having root-level access to a server means that you can view and change any file on it, including essential system files. You can also install software that can update particular settings on your server throughout the, so the installation can be done only if you're logged in as the root user. The aforementioned has full privileges, which means that you will have full control over the machine whenever you want and you can perform anything you'd like. You can also create additional users either with identical rights or with fewer rights, depending on what you need them for - daily tasks, other server admins, etc. To be on the safe side, it is usually recommended to employ the root account only when you really need it and not for tasks that you can do through other accounts. You may use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console in order to connect to the server and to manage it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Hosting

In case you pick the cPanel or the DirectAdmin website hosting Control Panel, you'll have full root access to your new dedicated server, regardless of which of our plans you will pick throughout the registration process. Exactly the same is valid when you decide not to add a Control Panel at all. All of our servers give you the option to run both really resource-demanding applications that are too heavy for a standard shared hosting account and applications which have particular requirements as to what the program environment on your web hosting server should be. The latter is something which can't be achieved on a shared machine, since 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 via a console, whereas if you acquire cPanel or DirectAdmin, most of the system settings as well as your website content can be managed through a graphical interface. When you select Hepsia, which is the last Control Panel option on the registration page, you'll have a server with limited root access.
