Having full root-level access means that you can access and customize every file on a specific server, which includes all of the system files, and to change system settings or install server-side software which may be required by certain scripts and even offline applications to work efficiently. A server is accessed at the root level via a root user, which has full privileges to perform all of the aforementioned things. The root user can also generate various other users. For security reasons, you're advised to have a separate account for daily tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to perform a particular task on your server. The root-level access function provides you with full control over your server from almost any location, given that you know the user credentials.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

When you pick the cPanel or the DirectAdmin web hosting Control Panel, you'll have full root access to your new dedicated server, regardless of which of our packages you'll choose during the signup process. The same is valid if you decide not to install a Control Panel at all. All our servers will provide you with the opportunity to run both really resource-demanding applications which are too heavy for a regular shared hosting account and applications that have certain requirements as to what the program environment on your web hosting server has to be. The latter is something that can't be achieved on a shared machine, since no server-side software can be set up on it. The difference between the abovementioned options is that without having a Control Panel, server management can be done only via a console, whereas if you get cPanel or DirectAdmin, most system settings and your website content can be managed through a graphical interface. If you choose Hepsia, which is the last Control Panel option on the registration page, you will receive a server with restricted root access.
