When you have root-level access to a hosting server, it indicates that you will have full control of it. That is to say, you'll be able set up any server-side app regardless of the changes that it'll make to the software setting on the server, and you'll be able to both access and modify any kind of file, which includes system files, and change various settings. This can be done by connecting to the server as a root user that has full privileges to perform the aforementioned things and to create other users, which includes 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's recommended that you create one more user for your daily work and use the root user only when you have to modify the server or to set up software that may be required by some script-driven app that you'd like to run.

Full Root-level Access in VPS

The Linux VPS services which we provide are suitable for different purposes, depending on what you wish to install and run on them and what experience you have. If the server is provided with the cPanel or the DirectAdmin website hosting Control Panel, you'll have full root access and will be able to manage your Internet content through a graphical interface, while you can still install server-side applications that may be required by your Internet sites and even by offline applications, like VoIP programs, media encoding software, various frameworks, and many others. Devoid of Control Panel, you will also have full root-level access, but you'll have to do everything through a console. When you choose to use our custom Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, there'll be certain root access limitations, but this configuration is the most convenient to manage. This way, you'll be able to choose the virtual server package which you really need.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Hosting

When you get one of the dedicated hosting which we supply, you'll have full root-level access and you will be able to 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, etcetera. You may order the server without any website hosting Control Panel and do everything through a console, unless you set up some third-party instrument, or you can order it with cPanel or DirectAdmin and use a web-based graphical interface to control your websites and many system settings. In all three cases, you will have complete control over your server. The tremendous amount of resources that you will have makes our dedicated plans the perfect choice for any kind of content that you wish to have. The servers that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are much easier to manage, still the root access to such a machine will be limited.
