Full Root-level Access
Learn about precisely what ‘full root-level access’ means, what benefits you'll have and the way to make use of them to customize your server.
Having full root-level access means that you'll be able to access and customize every file on a selected server, including all of the system files, and to change system settings or install server-side software which may be required by specific scripts and even offline applications in order to function appropriately. A server is accessed at the root level via a root user, which has full privileges to perform all the abovementioned things. The root user may also generate other users. For security reasons, you're advised to have one more account for everyday tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to perform a task on the website hosting server. The root-level access attribute offers you full control over your server from any existing location, provided that you know the user credentials.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers
If you select the cPanel or the DirectAdmin web hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access to your new
dedicated server, no matter which of our plans you will choose during the registration process. The same is valid when you choose not to install a Control Panel at all. All our servers will provide you with the chance to run both really resource-demanding apps that are too heavy for a standard shared hosting account and apps that have certain requirements as to what the software environment on your server needs to be. The latter is something that can't be achieved on a shared machine, due to the fact that no server-side software can be installed on it. The difference between the abovementioned solutions is that without having a Control Panel, server management can be done only via a console, while if you obtain cPanel or DirectAdmin, the majority of system settings and your web content can be controlled via a graphical interface. If you choose Hepsia, that is the last Control Panel option on the order page, you'll have a server with restricted root access.
