Having root-level access to your server signifies that you will be able to view and change any file on it, which includes essential system files. You may also set up software which can change particular settings on your server during the process, so the installation can be done only if you are logged in as the root user. The latter has full privileges, i.e. you'll have full control over the machine whenever you want and you can do anything you would like. You may also create various other users either with identical rights or with fewer rights, depending on what you want them for - everyday tasks, other server admins, etcetera. To be on the safe side, it's generally recommended to employ the root account only when you actually need it and not for tasks that can be done through other accounts. You can use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console to connect with the server and to control it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Web Hosting

Our Linux VPS web hosting services come with different degrees of access, in order to give you the option to pick the one you need, depending on your level of experience and on what you will need the server for. If you acquire a VPS devoid of Control Panel, you'll have full root-level access and you can take care of everything through a console, unless you set up a third-party tool. The servers that are ordered with the DirectAdmin or the cPanel hosting Control Panel also feature full root access, however most of the things which are related to your web content can be done with a graphical interface and not a console. You can install different frameworks or media streaming software, for example, without a problem. When you get your virtual server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you may still use a Secure Shell console to connect, but the root access will be restricted. Yet, the Hepsia-equipped servers are the easiest to control.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers Hosting

When you choose the cPanel or the DirectAdmin web hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access to your new dedicated server, no matter which of our plans you'll choose throughout the signup process. The exact same is valid if you choose not to add a Control Panel at all. Our servers will give you the opportunity to run both really resource-demanding applications which are too heavy for a standard shared web hosting account and applications that have certain requirements as to what the software environment on your server has to be. The latter is something that can't be achieved on a shared machine, since no server-side software can be installed on it. The difference between the abovementioned alternatives is that without a Control Panel, server management can be done only from a console, while if you acquire cPanel or DirectAdmin, most system settings as well as your site content will be controlled through a graphical interface. If you choose Hepsia, which is the last Control Panel option on the registration page, you'll get a server with limited root access.
