Having full root-level access signifies that you can access and modify each file on a specific server, which includes all system files, and to change system settings or install server-side software which may be necessary for specific scripts and even offline apps in order to function appropriately. A server is accessed at the root level through a root user, who has full privileges to perform all the abovementioned things. Your root user can also make various other users. For safety reasons, you're advised to have a separate account for daily tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to perform a task on your server. The root-level access function gives you full control over your server from any location, given that you know the user credentials.

Full Root-level Access in VPS

Our VPS feature different degrees of access, to give you the option to select the one you need, depending on your level of experience and on what you will need the server for. If you buy a VPS devoid of Control Panel, you'll have full root-level access and you'll take care of everything through a console, unless you install some third-party instrument. The servers which are ordered with the DirectAdmin or the cPanel web hosting Control Panel also feature full root access, yet most of the things that are related to your online content can be done using a graphical interface and not a console. You'll be able to set up various different frameworks or media streaming software, for instance, without any problems. If you order the virtual website hosting server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you can still use a Secure Shell console to connect, but the root access will be limited. Yet, the Hepsia-equipped servers are the simplest to manage.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Hosting

You'll have full root-level access to your dedicated server no matter which plan you choose throughout the registration process, as long as the server is ordered with cPanel or DirectAdmin, or with no web hosting Control Panel at all. In each of these 3 cases, you are able to update any part of the software environment in any way you find fit, which makes our server plans suitable for resource-demanding apps with specific requirements which can't be covered when you use a shared web hosting account. The difference between these options is that with cPanel or DirectAdmin, you will have a web-based graphical interface to control numerous server-side options as well as any web content that you generate or upload, whereas if you order the server devoid of Control Panel, you'll have to do everything through a Secure Shell console or to install a Control Panel of your own liking, if it's compatible with the Operating System that you have chosen throughout the registration process. With the third Control Panel option which you are able to choose on the order page - Hepsia, the root access will be limited.
