Having full root-level access signifies that you will be able to access and modify each file on a particular server, in addition to all of the system files, and to change system settings or set up server-side software which may be required by certain scripts and even offline apps in order to work appropriately. A server is accessed at the root level via a root user, which has full privileges to perform all of the aforementioned tasks. Your root user may also create various other users. For safety reasons, you are advised to have one more account for daily tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to do a particular task on the hosting server. The root-level access function gives you full control of your server from any location, given that you have the user credentials.
Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers
The VPS hosting plans that we offer are suitable for different 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 or the DirectAdmin web hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access and will be able to take care of your online content using a graphical interface, whereas you can still install server-side apps that may be needed for your Internet sites and even by offline applications, for example VoIP programs, media encoding software, various frameworks, etc. Without any Control Panel, you will also have full root-level access, but you will need to do everything through a console. When you choose to use our custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel, there'll be certain root access restrictions, but this configuration is the simplest to manage. Thus, you'll be able to select the virtual server package which you really need.
Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers
You'll have full root-level access to your dedicated server whatever the package you select throughout the signup process, as long as the server is provided with cPanel or DirectAdmin, or with no web hosting Control Panel at all. In all of these 3 cases, you're able to change any part of the software environment in any way you see fit, which makes our server packages suitable for resource-demanding applications with specific requirements which cannot be covered when you use a shared web hosting account. The main difference between these options is that when you use cPanel or DirectAdmin, you will have a web-based graphical interface to manage many different server-side options and any web content which you generate or upload, whereas when you order the server devoid of Control Panel, you'll have to perform everything with a Secure Shell console or to install a Control Panel of your liking, if it's compatible with the Operating System that you have chosen throughout the sign up process. With the final Control Panel option that you can select on our order page - Hepsia, the root access will be limited.
