Having root-level access to your server signifies that you'll be able to view and change any file on it, which includes important system files. You can also set up software which can update specific settings on your server during the process, so that the installation can be done only if you're signed in as the root user. The latter has full privileges, i.e. you will have full control over the machine whenever you want and you can perform anything you want. You can also generate other users either with the same rights or with fewer rights, according to what you want them for - daily tasks, other server administrators, 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 which can be done via other accounts. You may use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console to connect with the server and to control it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Web Hosting

Each dedicated server that we offer provides you with full root-level access, when the server is ordered without a Control Panel, or with cPanel or DirectAdmin. If you would like to set up and run heavy, resource-demanding apps and they have special requirements about the server software setting which cannot be fulfilled by a regular shared web hosting package, our servers will be the most suitable solution. Without Control Panel at hand, you're able to access the server and update its settings and the content which you upload through a console, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you will use a graphical interface to take care of everything related to your web content, and the majority of server-side settings. Of course, if you get a dedicated server with no Control Panel, you can always set up some third-party software tool manually, as long as it supports the Operating System that you have selected at registration. When you select our Hepsia Control Panel from the order page, you will have restricted root access, however you'll still be able to do quite a lot of things using a Secure Shell console.
