When you have root-level access to a server, it means that you will have full control over it. That is to say, you can install any server-side application whatever the changes that it will make to the software environment on your server, and you will be able to both access and customize any file, including system files, and change various settings. This can be done by connecting to the server as a root user that has full privileges to perform the aforementioned things and to generate other users, including 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's recommended that you create one more user for your everyday work and use the root user only when you need to customize the server or to install software which may be needed by a script-driven application that you wish to run.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Web Hosting

Our Linux VPS web hosting services come with different levels of access, in order to give you the option to select the one you need, depending on your level of experience and on what you will need the server for. When you purchase a VPS with no Control Panel, you'll have full root-level access and you can take care of everything from a console, unless you install some third-party software instrument. 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 that are related to your web content can be done using a graphical interface and not a console. You are able to install various different frameworks or media streaming software, for example, without a problem. If you order your virtual hosting server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you can still use a Secure Shell console to connect, however, the root access will be reduced. Yet, the Hepsia-equipped servers are the simplest to take care of.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers Hosting

You will have full root-level access to your dedicated server whatever the package you choose during the registration process, as long as the server is ordered with cPanel or DirectAdmin, or with no hosting Control Panel at all. In all of these three cases, you are able to modify any part of the software environment in any way you find fit, that makes our server packages suitable for multi-media apps with specific requirements which can't be covered when you use a shared website hosting account. The difference between these options is the fact that when you pick cPanel or DirectAdmin, you will have a web-based graphical interface to control many different server-side options and also any site content that you generate or upload, while if you order the server devoid of Control Panel, you'll have to perform everything with a Secure Shell console or to install a Control Panel of your own liking, provided that it's compatible with the OS which you've chosen throughout the registration process. With the final Control Panel option that you can choose on the order page - Hepsia, the root access is limited.
