    Root access in cpanel

    Hello to everyone,

     

    I have problem finding how to enable root access in order to enter via ssh to my host.

     

    I have seen a lot of similar questions but most of them have as solution:

    Go to my servers  blah blah blah.

     

    There is no my servers section at my account.

     

    What can I do?

    Hi there!

     

    The only way you would have root access to the parent server is if you own a VPS or Dedicated Server with root.

     

    If you're on a shared hosting server, you can't get root access. You can, however, access your specific hosting account via SSH. Here are the instructions on how to do that.
