Having root-level access to a server means that you'll be able to view and modify any file on it, including important system files. You can also set up software which can modify specific settings on the server during the process, so that the installation is possible only if you are signed in as the root user. The latter has full privileges, which means that you will have full control over your machine at any time and you'll be able to perform anything you need. You can also create various other users either with identical rights or with fewer rights, depending on what you need them for - everyday tasks, other server admins, etcetera. To be on the safe side, it's usually recommended to use the root account only when you actually need it and not for tasks that you can do through other accounts. You may 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

Each and every dedicated server that we supply gives you full root-level access, if the server is ordered with no Control Panel, or with cPanel. If you want to set up and run heavy, resource-demanding apps and they have specific requirements about the server software environment that cannot be fulfilled by a standard shared hosting package, our servers are the perfect solution. Without Control Panel at hand, you'll be able to access the server and change its settings and the content which you upload through a console, whereas with cPanel you'll use a graphical interface to manage everything related to your online content, as well as the majority of server-side settings. Of course, if you get a dedicated server without a Control Panel, you can set up some third-party instrument manually, as long as it is compatible with the Operating System that you have chosen at registration. If you pick our Hepsia Control Panel from your order page, you will have restricted root access, but you will still be able to do many different things using a Secure Shell console.
