When you have root-level access to a server, this means that you will have full control of it. In other words, you'll be able install any server-side application whatever the changes that it'll make to the software environment on the server, and you're able to both access and update any kind of file, including system files, and modify any 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 make other users, which includes users that also have full privileges. The connection can be established using a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For security reasons, it's recommended that you make 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'd like to run.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Web Hosting

The Linux VPS web hosting which we offer are appropriate for many different purposes, based on what you would like to set up and run on them and the experience that you have. When the server features the cPanel or the DirectAdmin hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access and will be able to control your world-wide web content using a graphical interface, whereas you may still set up server-side apps that may be needed by your sites and even by offline applications, which include VoIP software, media encoding software, various frameworks, etcetera. Devoid of Control Panel, you'll also have full root-level access, but you will have to do everything through a console. If you choose to use our in-house made Hepsia hosting Control Panel, there'll be certain root access restrictions, but this configuration is the most convenient to control. Thus, you will be able to choose the virtual server package which you need.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers Hosting

You will have full root-level access to your dedicated server no matter which package you pick throughout the signup process, as long as the server is provided with cPanel or DirectAdmin, or without web hosting Control Panel at all. In each of these three cases, you will be able to update any part of the software environment in any way you see fit, which makes our server packages ideal for resource-demanding applications with specific requirements which cannot be covered if you use a shared web hosting account. The difference between these options is that when you use cPanel or DirectAdmin, you'll have a web-based graphical interface to manage a variety of server-side options and also any website content that you create or upload, while when you order the server devoid of 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 is compatible with the Operating System which you've chosen throughout the sign up process. With the last Control Panel option that you can choose on the order page - Hepsia, the root access will be limited.
