Having root-level access to your server signifies that you will be able to view and modify any file on it, which includes essential system files. You may also set up software that can update specific settings on the server throughout the, so that the installation can be done only if you are signed in as the root user. The aforementioned has full privileges, i.e. you'll have full control over the machine whenever you want and you'll be able to perform anything you need. You may also make various other users either with identical rights or with fewer rights, depending on what you want them for - daily tasks, other server admins, 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 through other accounts. You may use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console to connect to the server and to control it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

If you choose the cPanel website hosting Control Panel, you'll have full root access to your new dedicated server, regardless of which of our packages you will choose throughout the signup process. The exact same is valid if you decide not to use a Control Panel at all. All of our servers give you the possibility to run both really resource-demanding apps that are too heavy for a shared website hosting account and apps which have particular requirements as to what the program environment on the web hosting server has to be. The latter is something that can't be achieved on a shared machine, as no server-side software can be set up on it. The difference between the aforementioned alternatives is that without a Control Panel, server management can be done only through a console, while if you acquire cPanel, most of the system settings along with your site content can be managed through a graphical interface. When you pick Hepsia, that is the last Control Panel option on the order page, you will have a server with limited root access.
