Having full root-level access signifies that you'll be able to access and change every file on a selected server, including all system files, and to change system settings or install server-side software which may be necessary for specific scripts and even offline apps to work effectively. A server is accessed at the root level through a root user, which has full privileges to do all the aforementioned tasks. The root user may also create various other users. For security reasons, you are advised to have another account for routine tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to do a specific task on the website hosting server. The root-level access function will give you full control over your server from any existing location, given that you know the user credentials.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

The Linux VPS plans that we offer are suitable for various purposes, based on what you wish to set up and run on them and what experience you have. If the server is ordered with the cPanel or the DirectAdmin website hosting Control Panel, you'll have full root access and will be able to take care of your online content via a graphical interface, while you may still set up server-side applications that may be needed for your sites and even by offline apps, such as VoIP software, media encoding software, various frameworks, etcetera. Devoid of Control Panel, you'll also have full root-level access, but you'll have to do everything using a console. If you choose to use our custom-built Hepsia hosting Control Panel, there'll be certain root access restrictions, but this configuration is the most convenient to manage. That way, you'll be able to select the virtual server package which you really need.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

When you get one of the Linux dedicated servers which we provide, you will have full root-level access and you'll be able to do anything that you cannot do with a shared web hosting account - to modify the server-side PHP settings, to install frameworks or media streaming software, etc. You'll be able to order the server with no web hosting Control Panel and do everything with a console, unless you install a third-party tool, or you can order it with cPanel or DirectAdmin and use a web-based graphical interface to take care of your Internet sites and many system settings. In all three cases, you will have full control over the machine. The significant amount of resources which you will receive makes our dedicated packages a great choice for any kind of content that you would like to have. The servers which are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are much easier to take care of, however the root access to such a machine will be restricted.
