When you have root-level access to a server, it means that you'll have full control over it. That is to say, you can install any server-side app irrespective of the changes that it will make to the software environment on the server, and you are able to both access and modify 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 all these things as well as to make other users, which includes users that also have full privileges. This particular can be established with a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For security reasons, it is recommended that you make another user for your daily work and use the root user only when you need to customize the server or to install software that may be needed by a script-driven app that you wish to run.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Hosting

Our Linux VPS hosting include different levels 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 need the server for. If you obtain a VPS devoid of Control Panel, you'll have full root-level access and you will take care of everything through 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, however most of the things that are linked to your world-wide web content can be done through a graphical interface and not a console. You're able to install various frameworks or media streaming software, for example, without a problem. If you order the virtual server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you may still use a Secure Shell console to connect, however, the root access is limited. Yet, the Hepsia-equipped servers are the simplest to control.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Web Hosting

If you pick 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 select throughout the signup process. Exactly the same is valid if you choose not to install a Control Panel at all. All our servers provide you with the possibility to run both really resource-demanding apps that are too heavy for a regular shared website hosting account and applications that have specific requirements as to what the software environment on your website hosting server should be. The latter is something which can't be achieved on a shared machine, because no server-side software can be set up on it. The difference between the aforementioned alternatives is that without a Control Panel, server management can be done only through a console, while if you get cPanel or DirectAdmin, the majority of system settings and your web content can be controlled via a graphical interface. If you select Hepsia, which is the last Control Panel option on the order page, you will receive a server with restricted root access.
