Having full root-level access means that you can access and modify each file on a specific server, in addition to all the system files, and to change system settings or set up server-side software which may be needed by specific scripts and even offline apps to work effectively. A server is accessed at the root level with a root user, who has full privileges to do all the aforementioned things. The root user can also create various other users. For security reasons, you're advised to have one more account for day-to-day tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to do some task on the server. The root-level access attribute provides you with full control over your server from any kind of location, as long as you have the user credentials.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

Our VPS servers include different degrees of access, to give you the option to pick the one you need, based on your level of experience and on what you want the server for. If you purchase a VPS devoid of Control Panel, you will have full root-level access and you'll take care of everything through a console, unless you install a third-party tool. The servers that are ordered with the DirectAdmin or the cPanel web hosting Control Panel also feature full root access, however most of the things that are related to your world-wide web content can be done with a graphical interface and not a console. You're able to set up various frameworks or media streaming software, for example, without a problem. If you order your virtual hosting server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you can still use a Secure Shell console to connect, however, the root access is restricted. Yet, the Hepsia-equipped servers are the simplest to take care of.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

You will have full root-level access to your dedicated server regardless of what package you choose during the signup process, as long as the server is provided with cPanel or DirectAdmin, or without hosting Control Panel at all. In each of these three cases, you can modify any part of the software environment in any way you find fit, that makes our server packages suitable for resource-demanding applications with specific requirements which can't be covered if you use a shared hosting account. The difference between these options is the fact that when you choose cPanel or DirectAdmin, you will have a web-based graphical interface to take care of many different server-side options and also any web content that you create or upload, while if you order the server devoid of Control Panel, you'll have to perform everything through a Secure Shell console or to install a Control Panel of your own liking, if it's compatible with the Operating System which you've chosen during the sign up process. With the third Control Panel option which you'll be able to select on our order page - Hepsia, the root access will be limited.
