Having full root-level access signifies that you can access and update each file on a specific server, including all the system files, and to change system settings or set up server-side software which may be needed by certain scripts and even offline apps in order to work appropriately. A server is accessed at the root level through a root user, which has full privileges to do all of the aforementioned tasks. Your root user can also make other users. For security reasons, you are advised to have another account for everyday tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to perform a particular task on the website hosting server. The root-level access feature will give you full control of your server from any location, as long as 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 pick throughout the registration process, as long as the server is provided with cPanel or DirectAdmin, or without hosting Control Panel at all. In each of these three cases, you will be able to update any part of the software environment in any way you find fit, which makes our server plans perfect for resource-demanding apps with specific requirements that can't be covered if you use a shared website 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 various server-side options and also any website content which you generate or upload, whereas when you order the server with no Control Panel, you will have to do everything using a Secure Shell console or to set up a Control Panel of your liking, provided that it's compatible with the Operating System that you have selected throughout the registration process. With the last Control Panel option that you're able to choose on the order page - Hepsia, the root access will be limited.
