When you have root-level access to a server, it means that you will have full control of it. In other words, you'll be able install any server-side application whatever the changes that it will make to the software setting on your server, and you can both access and update any file, which includes system files, and modify various settings. This can be done by connecting to the server as a root user who has full privileges to do the aforementioned things as well as to generate other users, which includes users who also have full privileges. This connection can be established using a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For safety reasons, it is recommended that you make a separate user for your everyday work and use the root user only when you have to modify the server or to set up software which may be needed by a script-driven application that you want to run.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

Each dedicated server that we supply features full root-level access, if the server is ordered without a Control Panel, or with cPanel or DirectAdmin. If you wish to set up and run heavy, resource-demanding applications and they have special requirements about the server software environment that can't be fulfilled by a conventional shared web hosting plan, our servers will be the optimal solution. With no Control Panel at hand, you can access the server and update its settings as well as the content which you upload through a console, whereas with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you'll have a graphical interface to control everything related to your web content, as well as most server-side settings. Needless to say, if you get a dedicated server devoid of Control Panel, you may always set up some third-party software tool manually, as long as it is compatible with the Operating System that you've chosen at signup. When you pick the Hepsia Control Panel from the order page, you'll have limited root access, yet you'll still be able to do a lot of things using a Secure Shell console.
