If you have root-level access to a hosting server, it means that you will have full control over it. In other words, you can install any server-side app irrespective of the changes that it'll make to the software setting on the server, and you will be able to both access and update any file, which includes system files, and change any settings. This can be done by connecting to the server as a root user that has full privileges to perform all these things and also to make other users, which includes users who also have full privileges. This particular can be established using a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For security reasons, it is recommended that you make another user for your daily work and use the root user only when you need to customize the server or to install software which may be needed by some script-driven application that you want to run.

Full Root-level Access in VPS

Our Linux VPS include different degrees of access, in order to give you the option to choose the one you need, according to your level of experience and on what you want the server for. If you get a VPS with no Control Panel, you'll have full root-level access and you can take care of everything from a console, unless you install a third-party instrument. The servers that are ordered with the DirectAdmin or the cPanel website hosting Control Panel also feature full root access, however most of the things that are related to your online 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 example, without any problems. 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 is restricted. Yet, the Hepsia-equipped servers are the simplest to manage.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Hosting

You'll have full root-level access to your dedicated server no matter which plan you select throughout the registration process, as long as the server is provided with cPanel or DirectAdmin, or with no web hosting Control Panel at all. In all of these 3 cases, you are able to change any part of the software environment in any way you find fit, that makes our server plans perfect for multi-media applications with specific requirements that can't be covered if you use a shared website 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 control many different server-side options and any website content that you create or upload, while if you order the server devoid of Control Panel, you will have to perform everything through a Secure Shell console or to set up a Control Panel of your liking, provided that it's compatible with the OS which you've selected throughout the sign up process. With the final Control Panel option that you're able to select on the order page - Hepsia, the root access will be restricted.
