When you have root-level access to a server, it means that you'll have full control over it. In other words, you can install any server-side app no matter what the changes that it'll make to the software setting on your server, and you'll be able to both access and update any file, including 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 and also to generate other users, including users who also have full privileges. The connection can be established with a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For safety reasons, it's recommended that you create one more user for your everyday work and employ the root user only when you have to modify the server or to set up software that may be required by some script-driven application that you'd like to run.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

Each and every dedicated server that we offer gives you full root-level access, when the server is ordered without a Control Panel, or with cPanel or DirectAdmin. If you'd like to set up and run heavy, resource-demanding applications and they have special requirements about the server software environment which cannot be fulfilled by a standard shared web hosting plan, our servers will be the optimal solution. With no Control Panel at hand, you are able to access the server and modify its settings and the content which you upload with a console, whereas with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you will use a graphical interface to manage everything related to your web content, and also most server-side settings. As expected, if you get a dedicated server devoid of Control Panel, you can always set up a third-party software tool manually, as long as it supports the OS that you have selected at registration. If you choose our Hepsia Control Panel from the order page, you will have limited root access, however you can still perform quite a lot of things through a Secure Shell console.
