Having root-level access to a server signifies that you will be able to view and modify any file on it, which includes crucial system files. You may also install software which can change certain settings on the server throughout the, so that the installation can be done only if you are signed in as the root user. The latter has full privileges, i.e. you will have full control over your machine whenever you want and you will be able to perform anything you need. You can also generate various other users either with the same rights or with fewer rights, depending on what you need them for - everyday 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 that you can do through other accounts. You can 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

When you select the cPanel or the DirectAdmin web hosting Control Panel, you'll have full root access to your new dedicated server, no matter which of our packages you will pick throughout the signup process. Exactly the same is valid if you choose not to install a Control Panel at all. Our servers will provide you with the opportunity to run both very resource-demanding applications which are too heavy for a regular shared web hosting account and apps that have specific requirements as to what the software environment on the web hosting server should be. The latter is something which can't be achieved on a shared machine, because no server-side software can be set up on it. The difference between the abovementioned alternatives is that without having a Control Panel, server management can be done only via a console, while if you get cPanel or DirectAdmin, most of the system settings as well as your website content can be managed through a graphical interface. When you select Hepsia, which is the last Control Panel option on the order page, you will get a server with limited root access.
