Having root-level access to a server means that you can view and update any file on it, which includes important system files. You may also install software that can modify specific settings on your server throughout the, so the installation can be done only if you're signed in as the root user. The aforementioned has full privileges, i.e. you'll have full control over your machine at any time and you will be able to perform anything you would like. You may also generate various other users either with similar rights or with fewer rights, based on what you need them for - everyday tasks, other server administrators, etc. To be on the safe side, it is usually recommended to employ the root account only when you actually need it and not for tasks that you can do using other accounts. You can 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

If you purchase a VPS servers from us, you will have full root-level access in 3 cases - if the server comes with no web hosting Control Panel at all, or in case you select cPanel or DirectAdmin throughout the order process. In the first case, you will be able to change each part of the system via a Secure Shell console, whereas in the second, you will still be able to use SSH in order to connect and to make adjustments, but you will also have a graphical interface available to take care of your world wide web content and almost all of the system settings. The root access makes our virtual server packages an excellent choice if you want to run any software that you can not set up in a regular shared website hosting account. With the last Control Panel option - Hepsia, you will be able to connect through SSH and to control the content on the hosting server, but the root access rights will be more limited.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

When you get one of the dedicated servers which we supply, you will have full root-level access and you'll be able to do anything that you can't do with a shared web hosting account - to modify the server-side PHP settings, to set up frameworks or media streaming software, and many others. You may order the server without web hosting Control Panel and do everything with a console, unless you install some third-party instrument, or you can order it with cPanel or DirectAdmin and use a web-based graphical interface to take care of your websites and many system settings. In all three cases, you'll have complete control of the server. The significant amount of system resources which you'll receive makes our dedicated plans the best choice for any type of content that you'd like to have. The servers that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are much easier to manage, but the root access to such a machine will be limited.
