Having root-level access to your server means that you can view and modify any file on it, which includes crucial system files. You can also set up software which can change certain settings on the server throughout the, so that the installation is possible only if you're signed in as the root user. The latter has full privileges, which means that you will have full control over the machine whenever you want and you'll be able to do anything you would like. You can also make additional users either with similar rights or with fewer rights, according to what you want them for - everyday tasks, other server admins, etc. To be on the safe side, it's usually recommended to use the root account only when you actually need it and not for tasks you can do via other accounts. You may use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console in order to connect with the server and to manage it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

If you choose the cPanel or the DirectAdmin web hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access to your new dedicated server, no matter which of our packages you will select during the signup process. Exactly the same is valid if you choose not to add a Control Panel at all. All of our servers will provide you with the option to run both really resource-demanding applications which are too heavy for a shared website hosting account and applications which have particular requirements as to what the software environment on your server has to be. The latter is something that can't be achieved on a shared machine, due to the fact that no server-side software can be installed on it. The difference between the abovementioned choices is that without a Control Panel, server management can be done only from a console, while if you acquire cPanel or DirectAdmin, the majority of system settings as well as your site content will be managed through a graphical interface. If you pick Hepsia, that is the last Control Panel option on the order page, you'll receive a server with restricted root access.
