Having root-level access to your server means that you will be able to view and modify any file on it, including crucial system files. You can also install software which can change particular settings on your server throughout the, so that the installation can be performed only if you're logged in as the root user. The aforementioned has full privileges, which means that you will have full control over the machine whenever you want and you will be able to perform anything you would like. You can also generate other users either with similar rights or with fewer rights, based on what you require 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 through other accounts. You may use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console to be able to connect to the server and to control it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

Each dedicated server that we supply provides you with full root-level access, when the server is ordered with no Control Panel, or with cPanel. If you want to install and run heavy, resource-demanding applications and they have special requirements with regard to the server software environment that can't be fulfilled by an ordinary shared website hosting package, our servers are the right solution. With no Control Panel at hand, you can access the server and update its settings as well as the content that you upload through a console, whereas with cPanel you'll use a graphical interface to control everything related to your online content, and most server-side settings. Of course, when you get a dedicated server with no Control Panel, you can set up some third-party software tool manually, as long as it supports the OS that you have chosen at registration. If you pick the Hepsia Control Panel from the order page, you will have restricted root access, but you'll still be able to perform a lot of things using a Secure Shell console.
