If you have root-level access to a server, it means that you will have full control of it. In other words, you'll be able set up any server-side app whatever the changes that it'll make to the software environment on the server, and you can both access and change any file, including system files, and change any settings. You can do this by connecting to the server as a root user who has full privileges to do the aforementioned things and to generate other users, which includes users that also have full privileges. This particular can be established with a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For security reasons, it is recommended that you create a separate user for your everyday work and use the root user only when you have to customize the server or to install software that may be required by a script-driven app that you would like to run.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Hosting

Our VPS hosting packages come with different degrees of access, to give you the option to choose the one you need, according to your level of experience and on what you'll need the server for. If you get a VPS without any Control Panel, you will have full root-level access and you'll manage everything using a console, unless you install a third-party tool. The servers which are ordered with the DirectAdmin or the cPanel website hosting Control Panel also include full root access, yet most of the things that are related to your online content can be done using a graphical interface and not a console. You will be able to install many different frameworks or media streaming software, for instance, without a problem. When you get the virtual website hosting server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you may still use a Secure Shell console to connect, however, the root access will be restricted. Yet, the Hepsia-equipped servers are the easiest to control.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Web Hosting

If you select 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. Our servers will give you the option to run both very resource-demanding applications that are too heavy for a regular shared web hosting account and apps that have certain requirements as to what the software environment on your hosting server has to be. The latter is something that cannot be achieved on a shared machine, as no server-side software can be installed on it. The difference between the abovementioned options is that without a Control Panel, server management can be done only via a console, whereas if you get cPanel or DirectAdmin, most of the system settings along with your web content will be managed via a graphical interface. If you pick Hepsia, that is the last Control Panel option on the registration page, you will get a server with restricted root access.
