If you have root-level access to a hosting server, it means that you will have full control over it. In other words, you'll be able set up any server-side application irrespective of the changes that it'll make to the software environment on the server, and you'll be able to both access and update any file, which includes system files, and change various settings. This can be done by connecting to the server as a root user who has full privileges to do all these things as well as to create other users, including users that also have full privileges. The connection can be established using 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 use the root user only when you need to customize the server or to set up software that may be required by some script-driven app that you would like to run.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

The VPS servers that we supply are appropriate for various different purposes, based on what you'd like to set up and run on them and what experience you have. When your server is provided 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 Internet content via a graphical interface, while you can still set up server-side applications that may be required by your Internet sites and even by offline apps, including VoIP software, media encoding software, various frameworks, etcetera. Without any Control Panel, you'll also have full root-level access, but you'll need to do everything through a console. When you choose to use our in-house built Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, there are certain root access restrictions, but this configuration is the most convenient to manage. In this way, you'll be able to select the virtual server plan that you really need.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

When you get one of the dedicated servers which we provide, you will have full root-level access and you will be able to do anything that you cannot do with a shared web hosting account - to modify the server-side PHP settings, to set up frameworks or media streaming software, and the like. You'll be able to order the server without website hosting Control Panel and do everything using 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 web sites and many system settings. In all 3 cases, you will have full control of the machine. The huge amount of resources that you'll get makes our dedicated packages a fantastic choice for any type of content that you want to have. The servers which are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are easier to manage, yet the root access to such a server will be limited.
