Having full root-level access signifies that you can access and update every file on a specific server, including all the system files, and to change system settings or set up server-side software which may be needed by specific scripts and even offline apps in order to work appropriately. A server is accessed at the root level through a root user, which has full privileges to do all of the abovementioned tasks. The root user may also make other users. For safety reasons, you are advised to have a separate account for day-to-day tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to perform a specific task on your hosting server. The root-level access attribute provides you with full control of your server from almost any location, provided that you know the user credentials.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

If you select the cPanel or the DirectAdmin website hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access to your new dedicated server, no matter which of our plans you'll choose throughout the signup process. The very same is valid when you decide not to get a Control Panel at all. All of our servers will give you the option to run both really resource-demanding applications which are too heavy for a shared website hosting account and apps that have certain requirements as to what the program environment on your server has to be. The latter is something which cannot be achieved on a shared machine, due to the fact that no server-side software can be installed on it. The difference between the abovementioned options is that without having a Control Panel, server management can be done only via a console, while if you obtain cPanel or DirectAdmin, most of the system settings as well as your site content can be controlled via a graphical interface. If you select Hepsia, which is the last Control Panel option on the order page, you will get a server with limited root access.
