When you have root-level access to a server, it means that you'll have full control over it. In other words, you'll be able set up any server-side application no matter what the changes that it will make to the software environment on the server, and you are able to both access and modify any kind of file, including system files, and modify various settings. This can be done by connecting to the server as a root user that has full privileges to perform all these things and also to generate other users, which includes users who also have full privileges. The connection can be established with a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For security reasons, it is recommended that you make another user for your everyday work and employ the root user only when you need to customize the server or to install software that may be required by some script-driven app that you want to run.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Web Hosting

Our Linux VPS web hosting feature different levels of access, so as to give you the option to pick the one you need, according to your level of experience and on what you'll need the server for. When you purchase a VPS without Control Panel, you'll have full root-level access and you will take care of everything using a console, unless you set up some third-party software tool. The servers which 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 through a graphical interface and not a console. You'll be able to install various different frameworks or media streaming software, for example, without a problem. When you order your virtual server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you can still use a Secure Shell console to connect, however, the root access will be restricted. Yet, the Hepsia-equipped servers are the simplest to manage.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers Hosting

If you pick the cPanel or the DirectAdmin hosting Control Panel, you'll have full root access to your new dedicated server, regardless of which of our packages you will select throughout the registration process. The same is valid if you choose not to use a Control Panel at all. All of our servers will give you the possibility to run both very resource-demanding apps which are too heavy for a regular shared web hosting account and apps that have particular requirements as to what the software environment on the website hosting server should be. The latter is something that can't be achieved on a shared machine, due to the fact that no server-side software can be installed on it. The difference between the abovementioned choices is that without having a Control Panel, server management can be done only via a console, whereas if you acquire cPanel or DirectAdmin, most system settings along with your website content can be controlled through a graphical interface. When you pick Hepsia, which is the last Control Panel option on the order page, you will get a server with limited root access.
