Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers Hosting

You will have full root-level access to your dedicated server regardless of what plan you pick during the signup process, as long as the server is ordered with cPanel or DirectAdmin, or without web hosting Control Panel at all. In each of these three cases, you will be able to update any part of the software environment in any way you see fit, which makes our server plans perfect for resource-demanding applications with specific requirements which can't be covered when you use a shared hosting account. The difference between these options is the fact that when you use cPanel or DirectAdmin, you will have a web-based graphical interface to take care of many different server-side options as well as any site content that you create or upload, whereas if you order the server without a Control Panel, you'll have to perform everything through a Secure Shell console or to set up a Control Panel of your own liking, provided that it is compatible with the Operating System which you have selected throughout the registration process. With the third Control Panel option which you'll be able to select on our order page - Hepsia, the root access will be limited.
