Having root-level access to a server signifies that you will be able to view and change any file on it, which includes crucial system files. You may also install software which can update certain settings on your server during the process, so the installation can be performed only if you are logged 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 can do anything you need. You may also create various other users either with similar rights or with fewer rights, based on what you want them for - day-to-day tasks, other server administrators, etcetera. To be on the safe side, it is generally recommended to employ the root account only when you really need it and not for tasks that 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 Servers

The Linux VPS servers which we offer are appropriate for a variety of purposes, depending on what you intend to install and run on them and the experience that you have. When your hosting server is provided with the cPanel or the DirectAdmin web hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access and will be able to manage your Internet content through a graphical interface, whereas you may still install server-side apps which may be needed by your web sites and even by offline applications, like VoIP programs, media encoding software, various frameworks, and many others. Devoid of Control Panel, you will also have full root-level access, but you will have to do everything through a console. If you choose to use our custom-made Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, there're certain root access limitations, but this configuration is the easiest to manage. This way, you'll be able to pick the virtual server package that you really need.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

You'll have full root-level access to your dedicated server regardless of what package you select throughout the signup process, as long as the server is provided with cPanel or DirectAdmin, or with no website 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, which makes our server packages perfect for resource-demanding apps with specific requirements that can't be covered when you use a shared hosting account. The main difference between these options is that when you select cPanel or DirectAdmin, you'll have a web-based graphical interface to control numerous server-side options as well as any site content that you generate or upload, while when you order the server devoid of Control Panel, you'll have to perform everything using a Secure Shell console or to set up a Control Panel of your liking, provided that it's compatible with the Operating System which you have selected throughout the sign up process. With the final Control Panel option which you are able to select on our order page - Hepsia, the root access will be limited.
