Having root-level access to a server signifies 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 update particular settings on the server throughout the, so that the installation is possible only if you are logged in as the root user. The aforementioned has full privileges, i.e. you will have full control over your machine whenever you want and you'll be able to perform anything you want. You can also create other users either with the same rights or with fewer rights, according to what you need them for - daily tasks, other server administrators, etcetera. To be on the safe side, it is usually recommended to use the root account only when you really need it and not for tasks which can be done through other accounts. You may use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console to connect to the server and to control it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers Hosting

If you choose the cPanel or the DirectAdmin hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access to your new dedicated server, no matter which of our packages you will select throughout the signup process. The very same is valid if you choose not to install a Control Panel at all. All our servers will provide you with the possibility to run both really resource-demanding applications which are too heavy for a regular shared hosting account and apps which have particular requirements as to what the program environment on your 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 through a console, while if you acquire cPanel or DirectAdmin, the majority of system settings along with your website content can be managed via a graphical interface. If you pick Hepsia, that is the last Control Panel option on the order page, you will get a server with restricted root access.
