When you have root-level access to a hosting server, this means that you will have full control over it. In other words, you can set up any server-side app regardless of the changes that it will make to the software environment on your server, and you can both access and change any kind of file, which includes system files, and modify any settings. This can be done by connecting to the server as a root user that has full privileges to do all these things and to make other users, which includes users that also have full privileges. This particular 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 need to modify the server or to set up software that may be needed by a script-driven app that you wish to run.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers Hosting

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 ordered with cPanel or DirectAdmin, or with no website hosting Control Panel at all. In each of these three cases, you can update any part of the software environment in any way you find fit, which makes our server packages suitable for multi-media applications with specific requirements which can't be covered if you use a shared hosting account. The difference between these options is that with cPanel or DirectAdmin, you will have a web-based graphical interface to take care of many different server-side options as well as any site content which you generate or upload, while if you order the server devoid of Control Panel, you'll have to perform everything using a Secure Shell console or to install a Control Panel of your liking, provided that it's compatible with the OS which you have chosen throughout the registration process. With the final Control Panel option which you will be able to select on our order page - Hepsia, the root access will be restricted.
