Having full root-level access means that you can access and update each file on a selected server, which includes all the system files, and to change system settings or set up server-side software that may be needed by specific scripts and even offline apps to function appropriately. A server is accessed at the root level through a root user, which has full privileges to do any of the abovementioned things. The root user can also make various other users. For safety reasons, you are advised to have one more account for daily tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to do a specific task on your website hosting server. The root-level access feature will provide you with full control of your server from any 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 pick during the signup process, as long as the server is ordered with cPanel, or without web hosting Control Panel at all. In all of these 3 cases, you can change any part of the software environment in any way you find fit, which makes our server plans suitable for resource-demanding apps with specific requirements which cannot be covered when you use a shared web hosting account. The difference between these options is that when you choose cPanel you'll have a web-based graphical interface to control various server-side options as well as any website content which you generate or upload, whereas when you order the server without a Control Panel, you'll have to do everything with a Secure Shell console or to install a Control Panel of your own liking, if it's compatible with the Operating System that you have chosen during the registration process. With the third Control Panel option that you can pick on our order page - Hepsia, the root access is limited.
