Having full root-level access means that you'll be able to access and customize any file on a particular server, which includes all of the system files, and to change system settings or install server-side software which may be necessary for specific scripts and even offline applications in order to function efficiently. A server is accessed at the root level through a root user, which has full privileges to perform all the aforementioned things. Your root user may also create other users. For safety reasons, you're advised to have one more account for day-to-day tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to do a specific task on your hosting server. The root-level access attribute will provide you with full control of your server from almost any location, given that you know the user credentials.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

Our VPS plans feature different degrees of access, so as to give you the option to choose the one you need, according to your level of experience and on what you need the server for. If you buy a VPS devoid of Control Panel, you'll have full root-level access and you can take care of everything using a console, unless you set up a third-party instrument. The servers that are ordered with the DirectAdmin or the cPanel web hosting Control Panel also include full root access, however most of the things that are linked to your online content can be done using a graphical interface and not a console. You'll be able to install many different frameworks or media streaming software, for example, without a problem. When you obtain the virtual hosting server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you can still use a Secure Shell console to connect, however, the root access will be limited. Yet, the Hepsia-equipped servers are the simplest to take care of.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

You'll have full root-level access to your dedicated server no matter which package you select throughout the registration process, as long as the server is ordered with cPanel or DirectAdmin, or with no hosting Control Panel at all. In all of these 3 cases, you can change any part of the software environment in any way you find fit, which makes our server packages suitable for resource-demanding applications with specific requirements that can't be covered when you use a shared web hosting account. The main difference between these options is that using cPanel or DirectAdmin, you will have a web-based graphical interface to take care of a variety of server-side options and any site content that you generate or upload, while if you order the server devoid of Control Panel, you will have to do everything through a Secure Shell console or to install a Control Panel of your liking, provided that it's compatible with the Operating System that you've chosen throughout the sign up process. With the third Control Panel option which you can select on the order page - Hepsia, the root access is restricted.
