Full Root-level Access
Learn what precisely ‘full root-level access’ implies, what benefits you will have and ways to utilize them to modify your server.
Having full root-level access signifies that you'll be able to access and modify each file on a selected server, which includes all the system files, and to change system settings or install server-side software which may be necessary for certain scripts and even offline applications to work appropriately. A server is accessed at the root level with a root user, who has full privileges to perform any of the abovementioned tasks. Your root user may also generate other users. For safety reasons, you're advised to have a separate account for routine tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to perform some task on your website hosting server. The root-level access function will give you full control of your server from any kind of location, provided that you have the user credentials.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers
You will have full root-level access to your
dedicated server whatever the package you select during the signup process, as long as the server is provided with cPanel, or with no web hosting Control Panel at all. In all of these 3 cases, you are able to update any part of the software environment in any way you see fit, that makes our server packages ideal for resource-demanding applications with specific requirements that can't be covered if you use a shared web hosting account. The main difference between these options is that when you pick cPanel you'll have a web-based graphical interface to take care of numerous server-side options and also any site content that you create 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 set up a Control Panel of your own liking, provided that it is compatible with the Operating System that you have chosen throughout the registration process. With the last Control Panel option which you will be able to choose on the order page - Hepsia, the root access is limited.
