Having root-level access to your server signifies that you can view and change any file on it, including essential system files. You may also install software that can change specific settings on your server throughout the, so the installation can be performed only if you're signed in as the root user. The latter has full privileges, i.e. you'll have full control over the machine whenever you want and you'll be able to do anything you need. You can also generate other users either with the same rights or with fewer rights, based on what you want them for - everyday tasks, other server administrators, etcetera. To be on the safe side, it is generally recommended to use the root account only when you actually need it and not for tasks which can be done via other accounts. You may use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console in order to connect to the server and to manage it at the root level.

When you order a VPS servers from our company, you'll have full root-level access in three cases - if the server includes no web hosting Control Panel at all, or in case you select cPanel or DirectAdmin throughout the order process. In the first case, you can update any part of the system via a Secure Shell console, whereas in the second, you can still use SSH to connect and to make modifications, however you will also have a graphical interface available to take care of your world wide web content and many of the system settings. The root access makes our virtual server packages a great choice in case you wish to run any kind of software which you can't install in a standard shared hosting account. With the last Control Panel option - Hepsia, you'll be able to connect via SSH and to take care of the content on your hosting server, but the root access rights will be more restricted.
Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers
Each and every dedicated server that we supply provides you with full root-level access, when the server is ordered without a Control Panel, or with cPanel or DirectAdmin. If you wish to set up and run heavy, resource-demanding applications and they have special requirements about the server software setting that can't be fulfilled by a conventional shared hosting package, our servers will be the perfect solution.

As expected, if you get a dedicated server with no Control Panel, you may always install some third-party instrument manually, as long as it is compatible with the Operating System that you have chosen at registration. When you select our Hepsia Control Panel from the order page, you will have limited root access, however you'll still be able to perform a lot of things through a Secure Shell console.
