Having full root-level access means that you'll be able to access and update every file on a specific server, in addition to all the system files, and to change system settings or install server-side software which may be necessary for certain scripts and even offline applications in order to function appropriately. A server is accessed at the root level through a root user, which has full privileges to do all of the abovementioned things. The root user can also create other users. For security reasons, you are advised to have a separate account for day-to-day tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to do a specific task on the website hosting server. The root-level access feature provides you with full control of your server from almost any location, as long as you have the user credentials.
Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Hosting
When you choose the cPanel or the DirectAdmin hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access to your new dedicated server, no matter which of our packages you will select during the signup process. The same is valid when you decide not to get a Control Panel at all. All of our servers give you the option to run both very resource-demanding apps which are too heavy for a regular shared website hosting account and apps which have certain requirements as to what the program environment on the web hosting server should be. The latter is something that can't be achieved on a shared machine, because no server-side software can be installed on it. The difference between the aforementioned choices is that without a Control Panel, server management can be done only via a console, whereas if you obtain cPanel or DirectAdmin, most system settings as well as your site content will be controlled 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.
