If you have root-level access to a server, this means that you will have full control of it. In other words, you can set up any server-side application regardless of the changes that it'll make to the software setting on the server, and you're able to both access and customize any kind of file, including system files, and change various settings. This can be done by connecting to the server as a root user that has full privileges to do the aforementioned things as well as to make other users, which includes users who also have full privileges. This particular can be established using a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For security reasons, it is recommended that you create a separate user for your daily work and use the root user only when you have to customize the server or to install software which may be needed by some script-driven app that you'd like to run.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers Hosting

You will have full root-level access to your dedicated server no matter which plan you select during the signup process, as long as the server is ordered with cPanel or DirectAdmin, or without hosting Control Panel at all. In all of these three cases, you'll be able to update any part of the software environment in any way you see fit, which makes our server plans perfect for resource-demanding applications with specific requirements that cannot be covered when you use a shared web hosting account. The difference between these options is that using cPanel or DirectAdmin, you will have a web-based graphical interface to take care of a variety of server-side options and also any web content that you create or upload, while when you order the server devoid of Control Panel, you'll have to perform everything with a Secure Shell console or to set up a Control Panel of your liking, provided that it's compatible with the Operating System which you have chosen throughout the sign up process. With the third Control Panel option which you can select on our order page - Hepsia, the root access is limited.
