Having full root-level access signifies that you will be able to access and modify each file on a specific server, which includes all system files, and to change system settings or install server-side software that may be required by specific scripts and even offline apps to function effectively. A server is accessed at the root level via a root user, who has full privileges to perform all of the aforementioned tasks. The root user can also generate other users. For safety reasons, you're advised to have one more account for daily tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to do some task on the server. The root-level access feature will give you full control over your server from any existing location, given that you know the user credentials.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

You'll have full root-level access to your dedicated server regardless of what package you choose throughout the signup process, as long as the server is provided with cPanel, or with no web hosting Control Panel at all. In each of these three cases, you're able to update any part of the software environment in any way you see fit, which makes our server plans suitable for multi-media applications with specific requirements that can't be covered when you use a shared web hosting account. The main difference between these options is the fact that when you use cPanel you will have a web-based graphical interface to take care of various server-side options as well as any web content that you generate or upload, while when you order the server with no Control Panel, you will have to do everything using a Secure Shell console or to install a Control Panel of your own liking, provided that it is compatible with the Operating System that you've selected during the sign up process. With the final Control Panel option which you can pick on our order page - Hepsia, the root access will be restricted.
