When you have root-level access to a hosting server, this means that you'll have full control of it. That is to say, you'll be able install any server-side application irrespective of the changes that it'll make to the software setting on the server, and you are able to both access and update any file, including system files, and modify various settings. You can do this by connecting to the server as a root user who has full privileges to do all these things and also to create other users, which includes users who also have full privileges. This connection can be established through a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For safety reasons, it is recommended that you create a different user for your daily work and employ the root user only when you need to customize the server or to set up software which may be required by a script-driven application that you wish to run.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

The VPS servers that we provide are appropriate for various purposes, based on what you wish to set up and run on them and the experience that you have. When the server is ordered with the cPanel or the DirectAdmin website hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access and will be able to take care of your world-wide web content through a graphical interface, while you may still install server-side applications which may be required by your web sites and even by offline apps, which include VoIP programs, media encoding software, various frameworks, and many others. Devoid of Control Panel, you'll also have full root-level access, but you will have to do everything using a console. When you choose to use our tailor-made Hepsia hosting Control Panel, there are certain root access restrictions, but this configuration is the simplest to control. Thus, you can choose the virtual server plan 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 website hosting account - to modify the server-side PHP settings, to install frameworks or media streaming software, etc. You may order the server with no web hosting Control Panel and do everything through 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 manage your web sites and many system settings. In all three cases, you'll have complete control of your machine. The considerable amount of resources that you will have makes our dedicated packages a fantastic choice for any type of content that you want to have. The servers that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are much easier to control, yet the root access to such a server is limited.
