Having root-level access to a server means that you will be able to view and update any file on it, including crucial system files. You can also install software that can modify particular settings on the server throughout the, so that the installation is possible only if you are signed in as the root user. The aforementioned has full privileges, which means that you'll have full control over the machine whenever you want and you will be able to perform anything you want. You can also create various other users either with identical rights or with fewer rights, according to what you need them for - daily tasks, other server administrators, etcetera. To be on the safe side, it's generally recommended to employ the root account only when you really need it and not for tasks which can be done via other accounts. You can use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console to connect with the server and to manage it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in VPS

The VPS services that we provide are suitable for many different purposes, based on what you wish to install and run on them and the experience that 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 control your Internet content using a graphical interface, whereas you can still set up server-side applications which may be needed by your Internet sites and even by offline apps, like VoIP software, media encoding software, various frameworks, etcetera. Devoid of Control Panel, you will also have full root-level access, but you will have to do everything using a console. If you choose to use our in-house built Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, there are certain root access limitations, but this configuration is the easiest to manage. In this way, you will be able to select the virtual server package that you need.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Hosting

When you select the cPanel or the DirectAdmin website hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access to your new dedicated server, regardless of which of our packages you'll choose throughout the signup process. The same is valid if you decide not to get a Control Panel at all. Our servers give you the option to run both very resource-demanding applications that are too heavy for a shared web hosting account and applications which have certain requirements as to what the software environment on your web hosting server needs to be. The latter is something which can't be achieved on a shared machine, because no server-side software can be installed on it. The difference between the aforementioned alternatives is that without a Control Panel, server management can be done only via a console, whereas if you acquire cPanel or DirectAdmin, most of the system settings along with your site content will be managed through a graphical interface. When you choose Hepsia, that is the last Control Panel option on the order page, you'll receive a server with restricted root access.
