Having full root-level access means that you'll be able to access and update any kind of file on a specific server, including all the system files, and to change system settings or install server-side software that may be required by certain scripts and even offline apps to function effectively. A server is accessed at the root level through a root user, which has full privileges to perform all of the aforementioned things. The root user can also generate various other users. For safety reasons, you are advised to have another account for daily tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to perform a specific task on the website hosting server. The root-level access feature offers you full control over your server from almost any location, given that you know the user credentials.
Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers
Each and every dedicated server that we supply includes full root-level access, if the server is ordered without a Control Panel, or with cPanel. If you would like to install and run heavy, resource-demanding applications and they have special requirements with regard to the server software environment which can't be fulfilled by a conventional shared website hosting plan, our servers will be the best solution. Without any Control Panel at hand, you'll be able to access the server and modify its settings and the content which you upload using a console, while with cPanel you'll use a graphical interface to take care of everything related to your online content, and also most server-side settings. Of course, when you get a dedicated server devoid of Control Panel, you may always install some third-party software instrument manually, as long as it supports the OS that you have selected at registration. When you select the Hepsia Control Panel from the order page, you will have restricted root access, yet you can still perform a lot of things using a Secure Shell console.
