Having root-level access to a server means that you can view and update any file on it, which includes essential system files. You can also set up software which can modify particular settings on the server throughout the, so that the installation can be done only if you are signed in as the root user. The latter has full privileges, i.e. you'll have full control over your machine whenever you want and you can do anything you would like. You may also generate additional users either with identical rights or with fewer rights, depending on what you need them for - day-to-day tasks, other server admins, etcetera. To be on the safe side, it's generally recommended to use the root account only when you actually need it and not for tasks that can be done through other accounts. You may use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console in order to connect to the server and to manage it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

Our VPS servers 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 want the server for. If you purchase a VPS without Control Panel, you will have full root-level access and you'll manage everything through a console, unless you install some third-party software instrument. The servers which are ordered with the DirectAdmin or the cPanel web hosting Control Panel also come with full root access, however most of the things that are linked to your web content can be performed with a graphical interface and not a console. You are able to set up various different frameworks or media streaming software, for instance, without any problems. If you order the virtual server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you can still use a Secure Shell console to connect, however, the root access will be limited. Yet, the Hepsia-equipped servers are the easiest to control.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

If you get one of the dedicated servers which we offer, you will have full root-level access and you will be able to do anything that you are unable to do with a shared website hosting account - to modify the server-side PHP settings, to set up frameworks or media streaming software, etc. You can order the server with no hosting Control Panel and do everything using a console, unless you install a third-party tool, 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 three cases, you will have complete control over the server. The tremendous amount of resources that you will get makes our dedicated plans the perfect choice for any type of content that you want to have. The servers that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are simpler to control, yet the root access to such a server is restricted.
