Having root-level access to a server signifies that you'll be able to view and update any file on it, which includes crucial system files. You may also install software which can change certain settings on the server during the process, so that the installation can be done only if you are logged 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 do anything you'd like. You may also make various other users either with similar rights or with fewer rights, according to what you want them for - daily tasks, other server admins, etcetera. To be on the safe side, it is usually recommended to employ 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 to be able to connect to the server and to manage it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Web Hosting

Each and every dedicated server that we offer features full root-level access, when the server is ordered with no Control Panel, or with cPanel. If you wish to install and run heavy, resource-demanding applications and they have specific requirements with regard to the server software setting which cannot be fulfilled by an ordinary shared web hosting package, our servers will be the optimal solution. Without any Control Panel at hand, you are able to access the server and customize its settings as well as the content which you upload through a console, whereas with cPanel you will have a graphical interface to take care of everything related to your web content, and most server-side settings. Of course, when you get a dedicated server devoid of Control Panel, you can install a third-party software instrument manually, as long as it is compatible with the Operating System that you've selected at registration. If you select our Hepsia Control Panel from the order page, you will have limited root access, but you'll still be able to do a number of things using a Secure Shell console.
