Having root-level access to your server signifies that you can view and update any file on it, including essential system files. You can also set up software which can modify specific settings on the server during the process, so that the installation can be done only if you're signed in as the root user. The aforementioned has full privileges, which means that you'll have full control over your machine whenever you want and you will be able to perform anything you would like. You may also generate various other users either with identical rights or with fewer rights, depending on what you require them for - everyday 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 can be done through other accounts. You can use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console in order to connect to the server and to control it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

You're able to take care of your new VPS servers at the root level regardless of the package that you've picked, as long as the server is ordered with either the cPanel or the DirectAdmin web hosting Control Panel, or without Control Panel at all. In the first case, a large number of system settings can be managed through a user-friendly web-based interface, whereas in the second, you'll need to do everything via a console, until you decide to install a Control Panel yourself. Either way, you will have full control over the VPS as well as any kind of system and custom content on it all the time, which makes this kind of website hosting perfect for any app that you cannot run with a shared web hosting account because of the restricted degree of access - frameworks, VoIP and audio/video streaming software, and many others. The final VPS Control Panel option is Hepsia, however the root access to your server is limited.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

If you get one of the dedicated web hosting plans which we offer, you'll have full root-level access and you can 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, etcetera. You can order the server without website hosting Control Panel and do everything from a console, unless you install some third-party tool, or you can order it with cPanel or DirectAdmin and use a web-based graphical interface to control your Internet sites and many system settings. In all 3 cases, you'll have complete control over the machine. The considerable amount of resources that you'll get makes our dedicated plans a fantastic choice for any kind of content that you wish to have. The servers which are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are much easier to manage, but the root access to such a machine will be restricted.
