Having root-level access to a server signifies that you can view and update any file on it, which includes essential system files. You may also set up software that can modify particular settings on your server throughout the, so that the installation can be performed only if you are logged in as the root user. The latter has full privileges, which means that you'll have full control over the machine at any time and you'll be able to perform anything you would like. You may also create various other users either with the same rights or with fewer rights, according to what you require them for - everyday tasks, other server admins, etc. To be on the safe side, it is generally recommended to use the root account only when you actually need it and not for tasks you can do through other accounts. You can use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console to be able to connect with the server and to manage it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Web Hosting

You'll have full root-level access to your dedicated server whatever the package you choose throughout the signup process, as long as the server is provided with cPanel or DirectAdmin, or without hosting Control Panel at all. In all of these three cases, you can modify any part of the software environment in any way you find fit, which makes our server packages perfect for multi-media apps with specific requirements which can't be covered if you use a shared hosting account. The main difference between these options is that when you use cPanel or DirectAdmin, you will have a web-based graphical interface to control many different server-side options as well as any web content which you create or upload, whereas if you order the server without a Control Panel, you'll have to perform everything using a Secure Shell console or to set up a Control Panel of your liking, if it's compatible with the OS that you have selected throughout the registration process. With the third Control Panel option that you are able to choose on our order page - Hepsia, the root access is restricted.
