If you have root-level access to a server, it indicates that you will have full control of it. That is to say, you'll be able install any server-side application regardless of the changes that it will make to the software environment on the server, and you're able to both access and customize any kind of file, which includes system files, and modify various settings. This can be done by connecting to the server as a root user who has full privileges to do all these things and also to make other users, including users who also have full privileges. This particular can be established with a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For safety reasons, it's recommended that you create a different user for your everyday work and employ the root user only when you have to modify the server or to set up software that may be required by a script-driven app that you want to run.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Hosting

You will have full root-level access to your dedicated server no matter which plan you choose throughout the signup process, as long as the server is provided with cPanel or DirectAdmin, or with no hosting Control Panel at all. In all of these three cases, you'll be able to change any part of the software environment in any way you see fit, that makes our server packages suitable for resource-demanding applications with specific requirements which can't be covered if you use a shared hosting account. The difference between these options is that when you pick cPanel or DirectAdmin, you will have a web-based graphical interface to manage many different server-side options and also any website content that you create or upload, while when you order the server without a Control Panel, you'll have to perform everything through a Secure Shell console or to install a Control Panel of your own liking, if it is compatible with the OS that you've chosen during the registration process. With the final Control Panel option which you can choose on the order page - Hepsia, the root access will be limited.
