Having full root-level access means that you'll be able to access and customize any file on a specific server, which includes all the system files, and to change system settings or set up server-side software which may be necessary for specific scripts and even offline applications to function effectively. A server is accessed at the root level through a root user, who has full privileges to do all the aforementioned tasks. The root user can also create various other users. For security reasons, you are advised to have one more account for routine tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to do a particular task on the hosting server. The root-level access feature provides you with full control over your server from any kind of location, given that you have the user credentials.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

Our VPS web hosting plans come with different degrees of access, to give you the option to pick the one you need, depending on your level of experience and on what you want the server for. If you obtain a VPS without Control Panel, you'll have full root-level access and you will manage everything using a console, unless you set up a third-party instrument. The servers that are ordered with the DirectAdmin or the cPanel web hosting Control Panel also come with full root access, however most of the things that are related to your web content can be performed with a graphical interface and not a console. You will be able to set up various different frameworks or media streaming software, for instance, 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 is limited. Yet, the Hepsia-equipped servers are the simplest to take care of.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

When you select the cPanel or the DirectAdmin hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access to your new dedicated server, no matter which of our packages you'll pick throughout the registration process. The very same is valid if you choose not to add a Control Panel at all. All of our servers will provide you with the possibility to run both very resource-demanding apps which are too heavy for a regular shared hosting account and apps that have specific requirements as to what the software environment on the server has to be. The latter is something which cannot be achieved on a shared machine, due to the fact that no server-side software can be set up on it. The difference between the aforementioned solutions is that without having a Control Panel, server management can be done only from a console, whereas if you obtain cPanel or DirectAdmin, most system settings and your website content will be managed through a graphical interface. When you pick Hepsia, that is the last Control Panel option on the registration page, you will receive a server with limited root access.
