If you choose the cPanel or the DirectAdmin web hosting Control Panel, you'll have full root access to your new dedicated server, no matter which of our packages you'll choose during the signup process. The exact same is valid if you decide not to add a Control Panel at all. All our servers will give you the possibility to run both very resource-demanding apps that are too heavy for a standard shared website hosting account and applications that have specific requirements as to what the program environment on your server should be. The latter is something that cannot be achieved on a shared machine, due to the fact that no server-side software can be installed on it. The difference between the aforementioned options is that without having a Control Panel, server management can be done only from a console, whereas if you acquire cPanel or DirectAdmin, the majority of system settings as well as your web content will be managed through a graphical interface. When you choose Hepsia, which is the last Control Panel option on the registration page, you will receive a server with restricted root access.
