Having root-level access to a server means that you'll be able to view and change any file on it, including crucial system files. You may also install software that can modify specific settings on the server during the process, so that the installation can be performed only if you are signed in as the root user. The latter has full privileges, i.e. you will have full control over the machine at any time and you'll be able to perform anything you'd like. You can also generate various other users either with the same rights or with fewer rights, according to what you want them for - day-to-day tasks, other server administrators, etc. To be on the safe side, it's generally recommended to employ the root account only when you actually need it and not for tasks that you can do using other accounts. You may use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console in order to connect with the server and to control it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in VPS

The Linux VPS packages which we provide are suitable for a variety of purposes, based on what you intend to set up and run on them and what experience you have. When your server is ordered with the cPanel hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access and will be able to manage your web content using a graphical interface, whereas you can still install server-side apps that may be needed for your websites and even by offline apps, for instance VoIP software, media encoding software, various frameworks, and many others. Without any Control Panel, you will also have full root-level access, but you will need to do everything using a console. If you choose to use our in-house built Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, there are certain root access restrictions, but this configuration is the easiest to manage. In this way, you'll be able to pick the virtual server plan which you need.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Hosting

If you get one of the Linux dedicated servers hosting packages which we offer, you will have full root-level access and you can do anything that you can't do using a shared hosting account - to update the server-side PHP settings, to install frameworks or media streaming software, and the like. You can order the server without any hosting Control Panel and do everything using a console, unless you set up some third-party tool, or you can order it with cPanel and use a web-based graphical interface to take care of your web sites and many system settings. In all three cases, you'll have full control of your machine. The tremendous amount of resources that you will receive makes our dedicated plans a fantastic choice for any type of content that you wish to have. The servers that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are simpler to maintain, yet the root access to such a server is restricted.
