Having full root-level access signifies that you'll be able to access and update every file on a specific server, which includes all system files, and to change system settings or set up server-side software that may be required by certain scripts and even offline apps in order to function properly. A server is accessed at the root level through a root user, which has full privileges to do all the aforementioned things. The root user may also create other users. For security reasons, you're advised to have one more account for everyday tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to perform a specific task on the website hosting server. The root-level access function offers you full control over your server from any kind of location, as long as you know the user credentials.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

If you choose the cPanel or the DirectAdmin hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access to your new dedicated server, regardless of which of our plans you will choose during the signup process. The same is valid if you decide not to install a Control Panel at all. All of our servers will provide you with the opportunity to run both very resource-demanding apps which are too heavy for a regular shared hosting account and applications that have specific requirements as to what the program environment on the hosting server should be. The latter is something which cannot be achieved on a shared machine, due to the fact that no server-side software can be installed on it. The difference between the aforementioned options is that without a Control Panel, server management can be done only through a console, whereas if you acquire cPanel or DirectAdmin, the majority of system settings as well as your website content will be controlled through a graphical interface. When you choose Hepsia, that is the last Control Panel option on the order page, you will have a server with restricted root access.
