When you have root-level access to a hosting server, this means that you will have full control over it. That is to say, you can install any server-side application whatever the changes that it will make to the software setting on the server, and you'll be able to both access and customize any kind of file, including system files, and modify any settings. This can be done by connecting to the server as a root user who has full privileges to do all these things and also to generate other users, including users who also have full privileges. This particular can be established using a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For safety 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 install software which may be required by some script-driven app that you would like to run.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

If you buy a VPS servers from our company, you will have full root-level access in three cases - if the server has no website hosting Control Panel at all, or when you select cPanel or DirectAdmin throughout the order process. In the first case, you will be able to update each part of the system via a Secure Shell console, while in the second, you'll still be able to use SSH in order to connect and to make modifications, yet you'll also have a graphical interface available to take care of your web content and almost all the system settings. The root access makes our virtual server plans an excellent choice when you would like to run any software that you can't install in an ordinary shared web hosting account. With the last Control Panel option - Hepsia, you will be able to connect by using SSH and to manage the content on the server, however, the root access rights are more limited.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

When you select the cPanel or the DirectAdmin website hosting Control Panel, you'll have full root access to your new dedicated server, regardless of which of our packages you'll select throughout the signup process. The same is valid when you choose not to install a Control Panel at all. All of our servers provide you with the chance to run both very resource-demanding applications which are too heavy for a shared web hosting account and apps which have certain requirements as to what the program environment on your hosting server has to be. The latter is something which cannot be achieved on a shared machine, as no server-side software can be installed on it. The difference between the aforementioned solutions is that without a Control Panel, server management can be done only via a console, while if you acquire cPanel or DirectAdmin, most of the system settings as well as your site content can be managed through a graphical interface. If you select Hepsia, that is the last Control Panel option on the registration page, you will have a server with limited root access.
