Having root-level access to your server signifies that you can view and update any file on it, which includes crucial system files. You may also set up software that can modify certain settings on the server throughout the, so that the installation can be done only if you're signed in as the root user. The aforementioned has full privileges, i.e. you'll have full control over the machine whenever you want and you can perform anything you would like. You can also make various other users either with the same rights or with fewer rights, based on what you want them for - everyday tasks, other server admins, etcetera. To be on the safe side, it is usually recommended to employ the root account only when you really need it and not for tasks you can do via other accounts. You can use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console to be able to connect to the server and to manage it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

Each dedicated server that we offer features full root-level access, if the server is ordered with no Control Panel, or with cPanel. If you would like to install and run heavy, resource-demanding apps and they have special requirements about the server software environment which can't be fulfilled by a regular shared website hosting plan, our servers will be the most suitable solution. Without any Control Panel at hand, you can access the server and update its settings as well as the content that you upload through a console, whereas with cPanel you'll have a graphical interface to control everything related to your online content, and the majority of server-side settings. Of course, if you get a dedicated server with no Control Panel, you can always set up some third-party tool manually, as long as it is compatible with the Operating System that you have selected at registration. When you pick our Hepsia Control Panel on your order page, you'll have limited root access, but you will still be able to perform lots of things using a Secure Shell console.
