If you have root-level access to a hosting server, it indicates that you will have full control of it. That is to say, you can set up any server-side app whatever the changes that it will make to the software environment on your server, and you can both access and modify any kind of file, which includes system files, and change various settings. You can do this by connecting to the server as a root user which has full privileges to perform all these things as well as to create other users, including users who also have full privileges. The connection can be established using a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For security reasons, it is recommended that you make another user for your everyday work and use the root user only when you need to modify the server or to set up software which may be needed by some script-driven application that you want to run.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Hosting

Our Linux VPS hosting packages come with different degrees of access, to give you the option to pick the one you need, depending on your level of experience and on what you'll need the server for. If you acquire a VPS without any Control Panel, you will have full root-level access and you can manage everything through a console, unless you set up some third-party tool. The servers that are ordered with the DirectAdmin or the cPanel web hosting Control Panel also feature full root access, however most of the things that are linked to your online content can be performed with a graphical interface and not a console. You can install various frameworks or media streaming software, for example, without any problems. If you get your virtual server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you can still use a Secure Shell console to connect, however, the root access is restricted. Yet, the Hepsia-equipped servers are the simplest to control.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Web Hosting

Each and every dedicated server that we offer gives you full root-level access, when the server is ordered with no Control Panel, or with cPanel or DirectAdmin. If you wish to install and run heavy, resource-demanding applications and they have specific requirements regarding the server software setting which cannot be fulfilled by an ordinary shared web hosting plan, our servers are the most suitable solution. Without Control Panel at hand, you're able to access the server and customize its settings as well as the content that you upload using a console, whereas with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you will use a graphical interface to control everything related to your web content, as well as most server-side settings. Of course, when you get a dedicated server devoid of Control Panel, you can always install a third-party instrument manually, as long as it supports the Operating System that you have selected at signup. When you choose our Hepsia Control Panel on your order page, you will have restricted root access, but you will still be able to perform quite a lot of things using a Secure Shell console.
