Having root-level access to your server signifies that you can view and modify any file on it, including crucial system files. You may also install software that can change certain settings on the server during the process, so the installation can be performed only if you are logged in as the root user. The aforementioned has full privileges, i.e. you will have full control over the machine whenever you want and you'll be able to do anything you would like. You can also make other users either with identical rights or with fewer rights, depending on what you require them for - daily tasks, other server admins, etcetera. To be on the safe side, it's generally recommended to use the root account only when you really need it and not for tasks you can do using other accounts. You may use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console to be able to connect with the server and to control it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in VPS

Our Linux VPS packages feature 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 need the server for. If you obtain a VPS without any Control Panel, you will have full root-level access and you can manage everything through a console, unless you install some third-party software tool. The servers which are ordered with the DirectAdmin or the cPanel website hosting Control Panel also include full root access, but most of the things which are linked to your online content can be done using a graphical interface and not a console. You will be able to set up different frameworks or media streaming software, for example, without a problem. When you get the virtual server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you may still use a Secure Shell console to connect, however, the root access is restricted. Yet, the Hepsia-equipped servers are the simplest to control.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Hosting

If you get one of the Linux dedicated servers hosting packages that we provide, you will have full root-level access and you will be able to do anything that you are unable to do with a shared web hosting account - to modify the server-side PHP settings, to install frameworks or media streaming software, etc. You may order the server without any website hosting Control Panel and do everything using a console, unless you install some third-party tool, or you can order it with cPanel or DirectAdmin and use a web-based graphical interface to control your web sites and many system settings. In all 3 cases, you will have full control over your machine. The huge amount of system resources that you'll receive makes our dedicated plans a fantastic choice for any type of content that you would like to have. The servers which are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are easier to take care of, still the root access to such a machine will be limited.
