Having full root-level access signifies that you can access and modify every file on a particular server, in addition to all the system files, and to change system settings or set up server-side software which may be needed by certain scripts and even offline applications to work effectively. A server is accessed at the root level through a root user, which has full privileges to do all the abovementioned tasks. Your root user can also create other users. For safety reasons, you're advised to have another account for routine tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to perform a specific task on the hosting server. The root-level access feature gives you full control of your server from any location, provided that you know the user credentials.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Web Hosting

You'll have full root-level access to your dedicated server whatever the plan you select during the registration process, as long as the server is ordered with cPanel, or without website hosting Control Panel at all. In each of these 3 cases, you can update any part of the software environment in any way you see fit, that makes our server plans perfect for multi-media applications with specific requirements which can't be covered when you use a shared website hosting account. The difference between these options is the fact that when you choose cPanel you will have a web-based graphical interface to take care of many different server-side options as well as any website content which you generate or upload, whereas when you order the server with no Control Panel, you'll have to do 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 have chosen during the registration process. With the third Control Panel option that you'll be able to select on the order page - Hepsia, the root access will be restricted.
