When you have root-level access to a server, it indicates that you'll have full control over it. In other words, you'll be able install any server-side app regardless of the changes that it will make to the software setting on the server, and you can both access and modify any file, including system files, and modify any settings. You can do this by connecting to the server as a root user that has full privileges to do all these things and also to create other users, which includes users that also have full privileges. This particular can be established through a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For safety reasons, it's recommended that you make a different user for your everyday work and employ the root user only when you have to modify the server or to set up software that may be needed by a script-driven app that you want to run.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Web Hosting

The Linux VPS web hosting packages that we offer are appropriate for a variety of purposes, based on what you intend to install and run on them and what experience you have. If the hosting server features the cPanel or the DirectAdmin web hosting Control Panel, you'll have full root access and will be able to take care of your world-wide web content with a graphical interface, while you can still install server-side applications which may be needed by your web sites and even by offline apps, for instance VoIP software, media encoding software, various frameworks, etc. Without any Control Panel, you'll also have full root-level access, but you will need to do everything using a console. If you choose to use our in-house made Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, there are certain root access restrictions, but this configuration is the easiest to control. Thus, you'll be able to select the virtual server plan that you need.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers Hosting

In case you pick the cPanel or the DirectAdmin hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access to your new dedicated server, no matter which of our packages you'll select throughout the signup process. The exact same is valid if you decide not to get a Control Panel at all. All our servers will give you the option to run both really resource-demanding apps that are too heavy for a regular shared hosting account and applications that have particular requirements as to what the software environment on the server needs to be. The latter is something that can't be achieved on a shared machine, due to the fact that no server-side software can be installed on it. The difference between the abovementioned options is that without having a Control Panel, server management can be done only from a console, while if you get cPanel or DirectAdmin, most system settings as well as your site content will be controlled via a graphical interface. If you choose Hepsia, which is the last Control Panel option on the order page, you will get a server with restricted root access.
