Having full root-level access means that you can access and change every file on a specific server, which includes all of the system files, and to change system settings or install server-side software that may be necessary for certain scripts and even offline applications to work efficiently. A server is accessed at the root level through a root user, which has full privileges to perform all of the abovementioned things. Your root user may also make various other users. For safety reasons, you're advised to have a different account for routine tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to perform a particular task on the server. The root-level access function will provide you with full control of your server from any existing location, provided that you have the user credentials.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

You will have full root-level access to your dedicated server no matter which package you select during the signup process, as long as the server is ordered with cPanel or DirectAdmin, or without website hosting Control Panel at all. In all of these 3 cases, you'll be able to update any part of the software environment in any way you see fit, which makes our server plans suitable for multi-media apps with specific requirements that cannot be covered when you use a shared website hosting account. The main difference between these options is that when you select cPanel or DirectAdmin, you'll have a web-based graphical interface to manage many different server-side options and also any website content that you create or upload, while when you order the server devoid of Control Panel, you will have to do everything with a Secure Shell console or to install a Control Panel of your liking, if it is compatible with the OS that you've chosen during the registration process. With the third Control Panel option which you're able to choose on our order page - Hepsia, the root access is restricted.
