When you have root-level access to a hosting server, it means that you will have full control of it. That is to say, you'll be able install any server-side app regardless of the changes that it will make to the software environment on your server, and you're able to both access and customize any kind of file, which includes system files, and change any settings. You can do this by connecting to the server as a root user that has full privileges to do all these things and also to create other users, including users who also have full privileges. This connection can be established using a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For safety reasons, it is recommended that you make one more 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 required by a script-driven app that you want to run.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Hosting

Our Linux VPS hosting packages include different degrees of access, to give you the option to choose the one you need, based on your level of experience and on what you want the server for. When you buy a VPS without any Control Panel, you'll have full root-level access and you will control everything from a console, unless you set up some third-party instrument. The servers that are ordered with the DirectAdmin or the cPanel website hosting Control Panel also include full root access, however most of the things that are linked to your online content can be done with a graphical interface and not a console. You can set up various different frameworks or media streaming software, for instance, without any problems. If you get your virtual hosting server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you may still use a Secure Shell console to connect, however, the root access will be restricted. Yet, the Hepsia-equipped servers are the easiest to take care of.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Web Hosting

If you pick 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 will pick during the signup process. The very same is valid when you decide not to install a Control Panel at all. All our servers give you the possibility to run both really resource-demanding apps which are too heavy for a standard shared hosting account and applications which have specific requirements as to what the program environment on the server needs to be. The latter is something which cannot be achieved on a shared machine, as no server-side software can be set up on it. The difference between the aforementioned options is that without a Control Panel, server management can be done only through a console, whereas if you get cPanel or DirectAdmin, most system settings as well as your web content will be controlled through a graphical interface. When you choose Hepsia, that is the last Control Panel option on the order page, you will receive a server with restricted root access.
