Having full root-level access signifies that you will be able to access and modify every file on a specific server, in addition to all system files, and to change system settings or install server-side software which may be necessary for certain scripts and even offline apps to function appropriately. A server is accessed at the root level via a root user, who has full privileges to perform any of the abovementioned things. Your root user can also generate other users. For security reasons, you are advised to have one more account for daily tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to do a task on the website hosting server. The root-level access feature gives you full control over your server from any existing location, given that you have the user credentials.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Hosting

You'll have full root-level access to your dedicated server whatever the plan you pick throughout the signup process, as long as the server is ordered with cPanel, or with no hosting Control Panel at all. In each of these 3 cases, you will be able to change any part of the software environment in any way you see fit, that makes our server plans ideal for multi-media apps with specific requirements which can't be covered when you use a shared web hosting account. The difference between these options is that when you choose cPanel you'll have a web-based graphical interface to take care of numerous server-side options as well as any web content that you generate or upload, whereas when you order the server with no Control Panel, you will have to perform everything through a Secure Shell console or to install a Control Panel of your liking, if it's compatible with the Operating System which you've chosen during the registration process. With the third Control Panel option that you're able to select on our order page - Hepsia, the root access is restricted.
