Having full root-level access means that you'll be able to access and change each file on a selected server, which includes all the system files, and to change system settings or set up server-side software which may be needed by specific scripts and even offline applications to function properly. A server is accessed at the root level via a root user, who has full privileges to do all the abovementioned things. The root user can also make other users. For security reasons, you are advised to have a different account for routine tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to perform a specific task on the hosting server. The root-level access attribute will give you full control of your server from any kind of location, given that you have the user credentials.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

You'll have full root-level access to your dedicated server regardless of what plan you select throughout the signup process, as long as the server is provided with cPanel, or with no hosting Control Panel at all. In all of these three cases, you are able to modify any part of the software environment in any way you find fit, that makes our server packages suitable for multi-media applications with specific requirements that can't be covered when you use a shared web hosting account. The difference between these options is that when you choose cPanel you will have a web-based graphical interface to manage a variety of server-side options and any web content which you generate or upload, while when you order the server with no Control Panel, you will have to perform everything through a Secure Shell console or to install a Control Panel of your liking, if it's compatible with the Operating System that you've selected during the registration process. With the last Control Panel option that you are able to pick on our order page - Hepsia, the root access will be restricted.
