Having full root-level access signifies that you can access and modify any file on a particular server, which includes all the system files, and to change system settings or set up server-side software which may be needed by certain scripts and even offline applications to work appropriately. A server is accessed at the root level via a root user, who has full privileges to do all the abovementioned tasks. The root user can also create other users. For security reasons, you are advised to have one more account for day-to-day tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to perform a specific task on your server. The root-level access feature offers you full control over your server from almost any location, provided that you have the user credentials.

Full Root-level Access in VPS

Our Linux VPS feature different levels of access, so as to give you the option to select the one you need, according to your level of experience and on what you'll need the server for. When you acquire a VPS devoid of Control Panel, you will have full root-level access and you will manage everything through a console, unless you set up some third-party tool. The servers that are ordered with the DirectAdmin or the cPanel hosting Control Panel also feature full root access, yet most of the things that are linked to your world-wide web content can be performed via a graphical interface and not a console. You'll be able to set up many different frameworks or media streaming software, for example, without a problem. When you get your virtual hosting server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you may still use a Secure Shell console to connect, but the root access will be limited. Yet, the Hepsia-equipped servers are the easiest to manage.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Hosting

You will have full root-level access to your dedicated server no matter which plan you select during the registration process, as long as the server is provided with cPanel or DirectAdmin, or with no hosting Control Panel at all. In all of these 3 cases, you will be able to update any part of the software environment in any way you see fit, that makes our server packages ideal for resource-demanding apps with specific requirements which cannot be covered when you use a shared web hosting account. The main difference between these options is the fact that when you use cPanel or DirectAdmin, you'll have a web-based graphical interface to control various server-side options and any website content which you create or upload, while when you order the server with no Control Panel, you'll have to perform everything with a Secure Shell console or to set up a Control Panel of your own liking, if it's compatible with the OS that you have selected during the sign up process. With the last Control Panel option which you will be able to choose on our order page - Hepsia, the root access will be limited.
