Having full root-level access signifies that you can access and update each file on a particular server, including all the system files, and to change system settings or install server-side software which may be necessary for specific scripts and even offline applications in order to work properly. A server is accessed at the root level via a root user, which has full privileges to perform any of the abovementioned tasks. The root user can also make other users. For safety reasons, you are advised to have another account for day-to-day tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to perform a specific task on the website hosting server. The root-level access function provides you with full control of your server from any kind of location, given that you know the user credentials.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Web Hosting

Our Linux VPS web hosting packages feature different levels of access, in order 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 Control Panel, you will have full root-level access and you will control everything from a console, unless you install some third-party software tool. The servers which are ordered with the DirectAdmin or the cPanel web hosting Control Panel also include full root access, yet most of the things which are linked to your world-wide web content can be performed via a graphical interface and not a console. You can set up various frameworks or media streaming software, for instance, without any problems. If you order the virtual hosting server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you may still use a Secure Shell console to connect, however, the root access will be reduced. Yet, the Hepsia-equipped servers are the simplest to manage.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers Hosting

In case you choose the cPanel or the DirectAdmin hosting Control Panel, you'll have full root access to your new dedicated server, regardless of which of our plans you'll choose throughout the signup process. The exact same is valid when you decide not to get a Control Panel at all. All our servers will provide you with the chance to run both very resource-demanding apps which are too heavy for a standard shared hosting account and applications that have particular requirements as to what the program environment on the server needs to be. The latter is something that 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 web content will be controlled via a graphical interface. When you pick Hepsia, which is the last Control Panel option on the order page, you'll receive a server with limited root access.
