Having root-level access to a server means that you will be able to view and change any file on it, including important system files. You can also set up software that can change specific settings on the server during the process, so the installation can be performed only if you are logged in as the root user. The aforementioned has full privileges, which means that you will have full control over the machine at any time and you can do anything you'd like. You may also create other users either with identical rights or with fewer rights, depending on what you need them for - daily tasks, other server administrators, 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 which can be done using other accounts. You may use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console to connect with the server and to manage it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Web Hosting

Each dedicated server that we provide features full root-level access, if the server is ordered without a Control Panel, or with cPanel or DirectAdmin. If you want to set up and run heavy, resource-demanding apps and they have special requirements with regard to the server software setting that can't be fulfilled by a conventional shared hosting plan, our servers are the most suitable solution. Without Control Panel at hand, you can access the server and change its settings as well as the content which you upload using a console, whereas with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you will have a graphical interface to take care of everything related to your online content, and also most server-side settings. As expected, when you get a dedicated server without a Control Panel, you may always install some third-party software tool manually, as long as it is compatible with the OS that you have selected at registration. If you select our Hepsia Control Panel on the order page, you will have limited root access, yet you can still perform lots of things through a Secure Shell console.
