If you have root-level access to a hosting server, it indicates that you'll have full control over it. In other words, you'll be able install any server-side application whatever the changes that it'll make to the software setting on the server, and you can both access and update any file, including system files, and modify any settings. This can be done by connecting to the server as a root user that has full privileges to perform all these things as well as to generate other users, including users who also have full privileges. This particular can be established with a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For safety reasons, it is recommended that you create another user for your daily work and employ the root user only when you need to customize the server or to set up software that may be needed by a script-driven app that you would like to run.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

Our Linux VPS servers include different levels of access, so as to give you the option to pick the one you need, depending on your level of experience and on what you need the server for. If you get a VPS devoid of Control Panel, you will have full root-level access and you will manage everything using a console, unless you set up some third-party tool. The servers that are ordered with the DirectAdmin or the cPanel website hosting Control Panel also come with full root access, yet most of the things which are related to your world-wide web content can be performed using a graphical interface and not a console. You can set up many different frameworks or media streaming software, for example, without any problems. When you get your virtual server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you can still use a Secure Shell console to connect, but the root access is reduced. Yet, the Hepsia-equipped servers are the easiest to manage.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

If you select the cPanel or the DirectAdmin hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access to your new dedicated server, no matter which of our plans you'll select during the signup process. The exact same is valid if you decide not to get a Control Panel at all. Our servers provide you with the possibility to run both really resource-demanding apps that are too heavy for a shared website hosting account and applications that have particular requirements as to what the program environment on the server has to be. The latter is something which can't be achieved on a shared machine, because no server-side software can be set up on it. The difference between the aforementioned alternatives is that without having a Control Panel, server management can be done only from a console, while if you get cPanel or DirectAdmin, most system settings along with your website content will be managed via a graphical interface. When you select Hepsia, which is the last Control Panel option on the order page, you'll have a server with limited root access.
