Having root-level access to a server means that you can view and update any file on it, including essential system files. You can also set up software that can change particular settings on your server throughout the, so the installation can be performed only if you're signed in as the root user. The latter has full privileges, i.e. you'll have full control over your machine whenever you want and you'll be able to perform anything you would like. You can also create other users either with similar rights or with fewer rights, depending on what you want them for - day-to-day tasks, other server admins, etc. To be on the safe side, it is generally recommended to use the root account only when you actually need it and not for tasks you can do through other accounts. You may 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

Our VPS feature different degrees of access, to give you the option to pick the one you need, based on your level of experience and on what you need the server for. If you obtain a VPS without Control Panel, you will have full root-level access and you can control everything using a console, unless you install some third-party software tool. The servers that are ordered with the DirectAdmin or the cPanel website hosting Control Panel also include full root access, however most of the things that are linked to your web content can be done with a graphical interface and not a console. You're able to set up different frameworks or media streaming software, for example, without any problems. If you order the virtual hosting server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you may still use a Secure Shell console to connect, however, the root access will be reduced. Yet, the Hepsia-equipped servers are the simplest to take care of.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Hosting

Each dedicated server that we provide gives you full root-level access, if the server is ordered without a Control Panel, or with cPanel or DirectAdmin. If you wish to install and run heavy, resource-demanding apps and they have specific requirements with regard to the server software environment which can't be fulfilled by a regular shared web hosting package, our servers will be the right solution. Without any Control Panel at hand, you'll be able to access the server and customize its settings and the content that you upload with a console, whereas with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you will have a graphical interface to control everything related to your online content, as well as the majority of server-side settings. Of course, if you get a dedicated server without a Control Panel, you may always install a third-party instrument manually, as long as it is compatible with the Operating System that you have chosen at signup. When you choose the Hepsia Control Panel from your order page, you will have limited root access, yet you'll still be able to do lots of things using a Secure Shell console.
