Having root-level access to your server signifies that you can view and change any file on it, which includes essential system files. You can also install software that can change specific settings on the server throughout the, so the installation can be performed only if you are logged in as the root user. The aforementioned has full privileges, i.e. you will have full control over the machine at any time and you'll be able to perform anything you would like. You may also make other users either with similar rights or with fewer rights, based on what you require them for - daily tasks, other server administrators, etc. To be on the safe side, it is usually recommended to use the root account only when you really need it and not for tasks that can be done via 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 control it at the root level.
Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers
You will have full root-level access to your dedicated server regardless of what package you pick throughout the registration process, as long as the server is ordered with cPanel or DirectAdmin, or without hosting Control Panel at all. In all of these 3 cases, you can modify any part of the software environment in any way you see fit, which makes our server plans suitable for multi-media applications with specific requirements which can't be covered when you use a shared hosting account. The difference between these options is the fact that with cPanel or DirectAdmin, you'll have a web-based graphical interface to manage numerous server-side options as well as any website content which you generate or upload, while if you order the server without a Control Panel, you will have to perform everything with a Secure Shell console or to set up a Control Panel of your liking, if it is compatible with the Operating System which you've selected throughout the sign up process. With the last Control Panel option which you'll be able to choose on our order page - Hepsia, the root access is limited.
