If you have root-level access to a hosting server, it means that you will have full control over it. That is to say, you can install any server-side application irrespective of the changes that it'll make to the software environment on your server, and you'll be able to both access and customize any file, including system files, and change any settings. You can do this by connecting to the server as a root user which has full privileges to do all these things and also to create other users, including users who also have full privileges. The connection can be established through a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For safety reasons, it's recommended that you make a separate user for your everyday work and use the root user only when you need to modify the server or to install software which may be required by a script-driven application that you would like to run.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Hosting

You'll have full root-level access to your dedicated server no matter which plan you select throughout the registration process, as long as the server is ordered with cPanel or DirectAdmin, or with no website hosting Control Panel at all. In all of these three cases, you're able to update any part of the software environment in any way you see fit, that makes our server packages perfect for multi-media applications with specific requirements which cannot be covered when you use a shared hosting account. The difference between these options is the fact that when you select cPanel or DirectAdmin, you'll have a web-based graphical interface to control numerous server-side options and any web content that you generate or upload, while when you order the server with no Control Panel, you will have to perform everything through a Secure Shell console or to install a Control Panel of your liking, if it's compatible with the OS that you have chosen throughout the registration process. With the last Control Panel option that you are able to pick on the order page - Hepsia, the root access will be limited.
