Having root-level access to your server signifies that you will be able to view and change any file on it, which includes crucial system files. You can also set up software which can update specific settings on your server during the process, so that the installation is possible only if you are signed in as the root user. The latter has full privileges, i.e. you will have full control over the machine whenever you want and you will be able to perform anything you want. You can also generate additional users either with the same rights or with fewer rights, depending on what you need them for - everyday tasks, other server administrators, etcetera. To be on the safe side, it is usually recommended to employ the root account only when you really need it and not for tasks which can be done via other accounts. You may use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console to connect to the server and to manage it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Web Hosting

Our Linux VPS web hosting packages come with different levels of access, in order to give you the option to pick the one you need, based on your level of experience and on what you need the server for. When you get a VPS without Control Panel, you will have full root-level access and you can control everything using a console, unless you install a third-party software tool. The servers which are ordered with the DirectAdmin or the cPanel hosting Control Panel also feature full root access, but most of the things that are related to your web content can be performed via a graphical interface and not a console. You're able to set up various different frameworks or media streaming software, for instance, without a problem. If you order the virtual website hosting server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you may still use a Secure Shell console to connect, however, the root access will be restricted. Yet, the Hepsia-equipped servers are the simplest to control.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers Hosting

In case you pick the cPanel or the DirectAdmin web hosting Control Panel, you'll have full root access to your new dedicated server, regardless of which of our plans you'll pick during the signup process. The exact same is valid if you choose not to add a Control Panel at all. All of our servers will give you the opportunity to run both very resource-demanding apps that are too heavy for a standard shared website hosting account and apps which have certain requirements as to what the program environment on your website hosting server has to be. The latter is something that cannot be achieved on a shared machine, since no server-side software can be installed on it. The difference between the abovementioned solutions is that without having a Control Panel, server management can be done only through a console, while if you obtain cPanel or DirectAdmin, the majority of system settings and your web content will be controlled via a graphical interface. If you pick Hepsia, that is the last Control Panel option on the registration page, you will receive a server with limited root access.
