Having root-level access to a server means that you'll be able to view and modify any file on it, which includes important system files. You may also install software that can change specific settings on your server throughout the, 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 can do anything you'd like. You may also create other users either with the same rights or with fewer rights, depending on what you need them for - everyday tasks, other server administrators, etc. To be on the safe side, it is generally recommended to use the root account only when you really need it and not for tasks that can be done using other accounts. You may use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console in order to connect with the server and to control it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Web Hosting

When you choose 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 plans you'll choose throughout the signup process. The exact same is valid if you choose not to get a Control Panel at all. All our servers will provide you with the opportunity to run both very resource-demanding apps which are too heavy for a regular shared website hosting account and apps that have specific requirements as to what the program environment on the web hosting server has to be. The latter is something that can't be achieved on a shared machine, since no server-side software can be set up on it. The difference between the abovementioned options is that without a Control Panel, server management can be done only via a console, while if you obtain cPanel or DirectAdmin, most system settings as well as your site content can be managed via a graphical interface. When you choose Hepsia, that is the last Control Panel option on the registration page, you will receive a server with restricted root access.
