Having full root-level access means that you will be able to access and change each file on a particular server, including all the system files, and to change system settings or set up server-side software that may be necessary for certain scripts and even offline apps to function effectively. A server is accessed at the root level through a root user, who has full privileges to do all of the abovementioned things. The root user may also create other users. For safety reasons, you are advised to have a different account for routine tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to perform some task on the hosting server. The root-level access attribute provides you with full control over your server from almost any location, as long as you know the user credentials.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

When you acquire a VPS servers from our company, you will have full root-level access in three cases - if the server comes with no website hosting Control Panel at all, or in case you select cPanel or DirectAdmin throughout the order process. In the first case, you will be able to modify each part of the system using a Secure Shell console, whereas in the second, you will still be able to use SSH to connect and to make adjustments, yet you will also have a graphical interface you can use to take care of your world wide web content and almost all of the system settings. The root access makes our virtual server packages an excellent choice when you would like to run any software that you can not set up in a regular shared hosting account. With the last Control Panel option - Hepsia, you will be able to connect by way of SSH and to control the content on your server, however, the root access rights are more restricted.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

If you choose the cPanel or the DirectAdmin web hosting Control Panel, you'll have full root access to your new dedicated server, no matter which of our plans you'll pick during the signup process. The very same is valid if you choose not to get a Control Panel at all. All our servers will give you the option to run both very resource-demanding apps that are too heavy for a shared hosting account and applications which have specific requirements as to what the software environment on your web hosting server has to be. The latter is something which cannot be achieved on a shared machine, since no server-side software can be set up on it. The difference between the aforementioned options is that without a Control Panel, server management can be done only from a console, whereas if you obtain cPanel or DirectAdmin, most of the system settings as well as your site content can be managed via a graphical interface. If you pick Hepsia, that is the last Control Panel option on the order page, you will receive a server with limited root access.
