Having root-level access to a server signifies that you can view and change any file on it, which includes important system files. You may also install software that can modify particular settings on your server during the process, so the installation is possible only if you're logged in as the root user. The latter has full privileges, which means that you will have full control over the machine at any time and you can do anything you would like. You may also create various other users either with identical rights or with fewer rights, based on what you want them for - everyday tasks, other server admins, etcetera. To be on the safe side, it's generally recommended to employ the root account only when you actually 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 Web Hosting

You're able to manage your new virtual private servers at the root level regardless of the package that you've picked, as long as the server is ordered with either the cPanel or the DirectAdmin web hosting Control Panel, or devoid of Control Panel at all. In the first case, a lot of system settings can be managed through a user-friendly web-based interface, while in the second, you'll need to do everything through a console, unless you decide to set up a Control Panel yourself. Either way, you will have full control over the VPS as well as any kind of system and / or custom content on it all of the time, which makes this kind of website hosting perfect for any app that you can't run with a shared web hosting account due to the limited degree of access - frameworks, VoIP and audio/video streaming software, etc. The final VPS Control Panel option is Hepsia, but the root access to your server is restricted.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers Hosting

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