Having root-level access to a server means that you can view and modify any file on it, which includes important system files. You can also set up software which can change specific settings on the server throughout the, so the installation can be done only if you're signed in as the root user. The aforementioned has full privileges, i.e. you'll have full control over your machine whenever you want and you can do anything you want. You can also generate additional users either with identical rights or with fewer rights, based on what you want them for - everyday tasks, other server admins, etc. To be on the safe side, it's generally recommended to employ the root account only when you really need it and not for tasks that can be done using other accounts. You can use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console to connect to the server and to manage it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in VPS

Our Linux VPS include different levels of access, so as to give you the option to pick the one you need, based 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 install a third-party software tool. The servers which are ordered with the DirectAdmin or the cPanel hosting Control Panel also include full root access, however most of the things that are linked to your web content can be done through a graphical interface and not a console. You can set up various different frameworks or media streaming software, for example, without a problem. When you order the virtual hosting server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you may still use a Secure Shell console to connect, but the root access is reduced. Yet, the Hepsia-equipped servers are the simplest to control.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Hosting

You will have full root-level access to your dedicated server no matter which package you choose during the signup process, as long as the server is ordered with cPanel or DirectAdmin, or without hosting Control Panel at all. In all of these 3 cases, you will be able to modify any part of the software environment in any way you see fit, which makes our server plans ideal for multi-media apps with specific requirements that can't be covered when you use a shared website hosting account. The difference between these options is the fact that using cPanel or DirectAdmin, you'll have a web-based graphical interface to take care of a variety of server-side options and also any web content that you create or upload, whereas when you order the server without a Control Panel, you'll have to do 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 selected throughout the sign up process. With the third Control Panel option that you will be able to choose on our order page - Hepsia, the root access will be limited.
