Having root-level access to a server means that you'll be able to view and modify any file on it, including important system files. You may also set up software which can update particular settings on the server during the process, so the installation is possible only if you are logged in as the root user. The latter has full privileges, i.e. you will have full control over your machine at any time and you'll be able to perform anything you need. You may also make various other users either with identical rights or with fewer rights, depending on what you need them for - everyday tasks, other server administrators, etcetera. To be on the safe side, it's generally recommended to use the root account only when you actually need it and not for tasks that can be done through other accounts. You can use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console to be able to connect to the server and to manage it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers Hosting

Each dedicated server that we supply features full root-level access, when the server is ordered without a Control Panel, or with cPanel or DirectAdmin. If you'd like to install and run heavy, resource-demanding applications and they have special requirements regarding the server software setting which can't be fulfilled by a conventional shared web hosting package, our servers will be the most suitable solution. Without any Control Panel at hand, you will be able to access the server and modify its settings as well as the content that you upload using a console, whereas with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you will have a graphical interface to manage everything related to your web content, and also most server-side settings. Needless to say, if you get a dedicated server devoid of Control Panel, you can set up some third-party instrument manually, as long as it is compatible with the Operating System that you have chosen at registration. If you choose our Hepsia Control Panel from the order page, you will have restricted root access, however you will still be able to do a number of things through a Secure Shell console.
