Having root-level access to a server signifies that you'll be able to view and update any file on it, including crucial system files. You can also install software that can change certain settings on your server throughout the, so that the installation is possible only if you're logged in as the root user. The aforementioned has full privileges, i.e. you'll have full control over your machine whenever you want and you can perform anything you want. You may also generate other users either with similar rights or with fewer rights, according to what you need them for - daily tasks, other server administrators, etc. 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 that you can do through other accounts. You may use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console to be able to connect to the server and to control it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Web Hosting

If you select the cPanel or the DirectAdmin web hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access to your new dedicated server, regardless of which of our plans you will choose throughout the registration process. The same is valid if you decide not to add a Control Panel at all. Our servers will give you the chance to run both really resource-demanding applications which are too heavy for a standard shared hosting account and applications which have certain requirements as to what the software environment on your server should be. The latter is something that cannot be achieved on a shared machine, as no server-side software can be set up on it. The difference between the aforementioned choices is that without a Control Panel, server management can be done only from a console, whereas if you get cPanel or DirectAdmin, most system settings and your site content will be managed via a graphical interface. If you pick Hepsia, that is the last Control Panel option on the registration page, you'll have a server with limited root access.
