Having full root-level access means that you can access and customize each file on a particular server, including all of the system files, and to change system settings or set up server-side software that may be required by specific scripts and even offline apps in order to work efficiently. A server is accessed at the root level through a root user, which has full privileges to do any of the abovementioned things. Your root user may also make other users. For safety reasons, you are advised to have a different account for day-to-day tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to do a particular task on the hosting server. The root-level access function will give you full control over your server from any location, given that you know the user credentials.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

Our VPS hosting plans feature different degrees of access, so as to give you the option to choose the one you need, according to your level of experience and on what you'll need the server for. When you get a VPS without Control Panel, you will have full root-level access and you will manage everything using a console, unless you set up a third-party software tool. The servers which are ordered with the DirectAdmin or the cPanel hosting Control Panel also come with full root access, yet most of the things which are related to your online content can be done via a graphical interface and not a console. You'll be able to install many different frameworks or media streaming software, for example, without any problems. When you get your virtual website hosting server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you may still use a Secure Shell console to connect, but the root access is reduced. Yet, the Hepsia-equipped servers are the simplest to manage.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

You will have full root-level access to your dedicated server whatever the package you pick throughout the registration process, as long as the server is ordered with cPanel or DirectAdmin, or with no website hosting Control Panel at all. In all of these three cases, you are able to update any part of the software environment in any way you see fit, that makes our server plans perfect for resource-demanding apps with specific requirements which cannot be covered if you use a shared website hosting account. The main difference between these options is that when you choose cPanel or DirectAdmin, you'll have a web-based graphical interface to control many different server-side options as well as any site content which you generate or upload, whereas when you order the server with no Control Panel, you will have to perform everything with a Secure Shell console or to install a Control Panel of your liking, if it is compatible with the Operating System which you have selected during the sign up process. With the final Control Panel option which you can pick on our order page - Hepsia, the root access will be limited.
