Having root-level access to a server signifies that you will be able to view and modify any file on it, including essential system files. You can also set up software which can update specific settings on your server throughout the, so the installation can be performed only if you are logged 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 can perform anything you want. You can also create other users either with identical rights or with fewer rights, depending on what you require them for - everyday tasks, other server admins, etc. To be on the safe side, it's generally recommended to use the root account only when you really need it and not for tasks which can be done through other accounts. You can use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console to be able to connect with the server and to manage it at the root level.
Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers
In case you choose the cPanel or the DirectAdmin website hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access to your new dedicated server, regardless of which of our plans you will choose during the registration process. The very same is valid when you choose not to install a Control Panel at all. Our servers give you the chance to run both really resource-demanding apps which are too heavy for a regular shared hosting account and applications which have particular requirements as to what the program environment on the server has to be. The latter is something which can't be achieved on a shared machine, due to the fact that 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 via a console, while if you get cPanel or DirectAdmin, most of the system settings as well as your web content will be controlled through a graphical interface. When you select Hepsia, that is the last Control Panel option on the registration page, you'll have a server with limited root access.
